Fungi-Bacteria interactions - a joint symposium with CUSO

18 June 2012

A joint symposium with CUSO Doctoral Program in Microbial sciences .

Flyer

Organizers: Pilar Junier (University of Neuchâtel)  and Daniel Job (University of Neuchâtel)

Objectives

To present the most recent scientific advances in the field of Fungi-Bacteria interaction.

To discuss novel methodological approaches in the field.

Content

Recent studies of the interactions between bacteria and fungi have clearly shown that they are essential for shaping the biological communities above and below Earth’s surface. However, we still know little about the nature of these interactions and their effects on nutrient/niche/habitat exploitation for each partner.

The 1-day symposium plans to bring together two leading teams in the topic to discuss advances in the area as well as to allow Swiss young scientist to discover this novel field.

Speakers

Dr Saskia Bindschedler , Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Germany

Prof. Jan Dirk van Elsas , University of Groningen, The Netherlands

Dr Lukas Y. Wick , Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Germany
