Microorganisms are a key component of the Earth’s biosphere, and microbial communication – whether between microbes, with higher organisms or with the environment – is an important driver of the Earth system. Our annual International Conference on Microbial Communication (MiCom) for students aims to generate new understanding of these interactions and their many consequences from molecular to global scales. MiCom is organized and hosted each year by PhD students from the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC). We cordially invite you to join us for our 3rd year of discussion and interdisciplinary collaboration with a growing international community of young scientists. Both talks and poster presentations are welcome. We hope to see you there! ... [Information of the supplier]

We neither see nor hear them in our everyday life, but the inhabitants of the microbial world are constantly in communication. This invisible world houses various types of diverse interactions. MiCom aims to provide a platform to present and share knowledge about the latest research on a variety of themes encompassing microbial interactions. The conference focuses on both symbiotic and pathogenic microbial together with their natural habitat and the molecules involved in the interactions as well as the recent tools used in such research. The Jena School of Microbial Communication and the MiCom 2014 Organising Team would be pleased to welcome you in 2014 to discuss the latest news from the microbial world. ...

We are pleased to welcome you to the second conference on the Ecology of Soil Microorganisms to be held in November/December 2015 in Prague. This is the second conference on this topic after the first one organised in 2011 that was attended by more than 400 participants from all over the world. The conference is planned as an interdisciplinary platform that should offer as much interaction among various subjects within microbial ecology as possible. This includes questions addressing individual microbes, microbial communities as well as their interactions with the environment and other soil biota. We hope to link the modern molecular “omics” methods such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics with approaches based on soil chemical and biochemical analyses, the exploration of soil fauna and plant ecology. The other important goal of the conference is a wide scope covering the ecology of all microbes: bacteria and fungi as well as archaea and protozoa.We also cordially invite presenters from the emerging fields of ancient DNA and archaeomicrobiology. Our aim is to bring experts from all these disciplines to a meeting where all can benefit from interactions and to promote in this way the research in the field of soil ecology. The conference is held under the auspices of the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences Prof. Jiri Drahos ... [Information of the supplier]
New discoveries about the unexpected lifestyles of aquatic microbial eukaryotes (protists) are advancing rapidly through the targeted exploration of cultured isolates and whole communities using molecular sequencing and imaging techniques in concert with evolutionary theory and geochemical analysis. Three major contributions to microeukaryote biology, ecology, and evolution that are catapulting the field forward are the Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (MMETSP), the Tara Oceans Expeditions, and the Malaspina Expedition. Although these three efforts focused on marine organisms, they have provided an unprecedented wealth of new data to the broader protist ecology, evolution, biogeochemistry, and model system research communities. Moreover, these efforts are enabling development of new concepts about the interactions of protists with viruses, bacteria, and archaea. The goal of the symposium is to increase the impact of the new knowledge generated from these unique datasets and to foster new collaborations among aquatic microbial ecologists, evolutionary biologists, oceanographers, limnologists, cell and molecular biologists, geneticists, and more. The objective is also to address “What questions can we now ask because of the completion of the marine field campaigns and with the arrival of new technologies, methods, and concepts from all corners of the biological sciences?” ...

Dear participants of the Annual Conference 2015 of the Association for General and Applied Microbiology, I am pleased to meet you again a decade after the last Annual Conference took place here in Jena. And I am also pleased to welcome you again to our city! A city which not only inspired numerous philosophers, writers and entrepreneurs but which also became a home for many microbiologists. In recent decades, Jena with its university and other scientific institutions has evolved as a major player in microbial research. This success has been made possible especially by the cooperative working atmosphere extending across the disciplinary and institutional boundaries. Microbiologists, physicians, chemists, bioinformaticians, physicists, photonic scientists and other professionals coming together to work on a common problem are one example. Significant collaborative projects involving this year’s organizers – the University of Jena and the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans Knöll Institute (HKI) – give testimony to this seminal cooperation: As an umbrella organization the Excellence Graduate School Jena School for Microbial Communication combines many scientific activities in the field of microbial communication and links them to an ambitious microbiological training. And at the Leibniz ScienceCampus InfectoOptics, for example, chemists, physicists and microbiologists are working together to develop new optical technologies for the detection and treatment of infections. The research campus InfectoGnostics also unites microbiologists with photonic scientists to develop novel ways to diagnose infections. The Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio “FungiNet” furthermore brings together microbiologists, physicians and bioinformaticians from Jena with their fellows from Würzburg. The scientists explore the complex mechanisms of fungal infections and generate new therapeutic options through a systems biology approach. In this regard, I also want to mention the consortium “InfectControl 2020” where scientists and entrepreneurs from all over Germany work together on new strategies for infection control and prevention. Within the Collaborative Research Centre “ChemBioSys” we examine how the composition of species and the interrelations of individual organisms of one or more species are regulated by natural products.Here in Jena, you will find a lively and - particularly important - collegial and friendly environment! I wish you an insightful Annual Conference 2016 with many good discussions and conversations! ... [Information of the supplier]
