The Kingdom Fungi, constitute in excess of 1.5 million different species and they can be found in every ecosystem on our planet. By the same token, their diversity is enormous and they have a great impact on man and the environment. Their benefits are seen in the foods we consume, such as mushrooms, cheeses, drinks and sauces and now, more recently, fungi have been discovered that produce antibiotics, anticancer agents and even fuel-related compounds. Fungi are also used in the industrial manufacture of chemicals and enzymes. They are the main recyclers in the terrestrial environment, and at the same time help feed forest trees through mycorrhizal association with roots. They have close associations with algae or cyanobacteria to form lichens which are useful indicators of environmental change. Significantly, some fungi can damage food and food products, wood, furniture, fabrics, and even petroleum products. Yet, how much do we really know about the working processes of fungi, and for that matter, how many fungi really exist on the planet? The aim of this conference is to look at the enormous wealth of species and genetic diversity in the fungi, biological functions, relationships and adaptions to our changing environment and to discover their ever increasing role in providing benefits to mankind. ...

The 12th European Fusarium Seminar is being organised by the Mycology and Food Safety Research Unit, at INRA and will be held at the Palais de la Bourse, Bordeaux. Fusarium is in general present everywhere on cultivated crop and in the environment. Harvests are usually safe but sometimes, depending on climatic conditions, various Fusarium species can cause terrible epidemics of blight. In addition, most Fusarium species produce secondary metabolites that accumulate in crops and are very toxic for human and animal consumers. The produced mycotoxins are usually very stable and only few enzymatic systems from other organisms have been found able to degrade or inactivate theses compounds. After almost thirty years of intensive research fighting against these undesirable pathogens and their toxins, are we able to mitigate their effects? A lot of factors influencing epidemics of Fusarium blight and accumulation of toxins in the harvests have been identified: climatic conditions, cultural practices, virulence of the pathogens, resistance status of cultivars, stressing conditions, the fungicides being used etc. In addition, exploration of Fusarium diversity is far from being complete. Indeed, the number of Fusarium species identified worldwide increases every day and epidemiology studies show continuous changes in populations. Today, reduction of mycotoxin levels in food and feeds remains a tremendous challenge for the future. ... [Information of the supplier]
The “Yeast Lipid Conference” (YLC) is an international scientific meeting held every second year (typically in late May) to promote free discussion between scientists working on or interested in all aspects of yeast lipids. The 12th edition of YLC will be held in Ghent, Belgium from the 20th till the 22nd of May 2015. It will start on Wednesday afternoon with registration followed by the opening lecture, and an evening reception. The following two days will be seminars by invited guests with some speakers chosen from submitted abstracts, poster sessions, and social events. This is the first time the conference will be hosted in Belgium and we are pleased that Ghent will be the location for this. All lectures will take place at the Faculty of Bio-Science engineering at Ghent University, which is located at walking distance from the historical city centre of Ghent. It is worth spending time before or after the meeting to discover this sparkling city and visit other points of interest in Belgium. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Yeast Lipid Conference (YLC) is an international scientific meeting held biannually. These conferences promote information exchange and free discussion between scientists working on, or interested in any aspect of yeast or fungal lipids. YLC 2019 will cover topics ranging from metabolism of phospholipids and sterols, protein-membrane interactions, to yeasts as a platform for lipid production and a model for studies of molecular mechanisms involved in human pathogenesis. ...
