Conference Alert: Halophiles 2007
International Congress Exploring Life at High Salinity
University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, UK
2-6 September, 2007
Salt-loving organisms (halophiles) are big news – survival in ancient salt, potential for extraterrestrial existence, highly specialised molecular adaptations, cells that form perfect squares. We will discuss and advance our understanding of these and many more aspects of halophiles, at the level of ecosystems, cells and molecules. About a quarter of the earth’s landmass is underlain by salt; salt affects all biomolecules as well as the solvent that underpins life, namely water; therefore all life processes are affected by salt, and so this congress will be of broad interest. You are very welcome to join us in the ancient Roman town of Colchester and to participate in this congress.
