10th Symposium on Lactic Acid Bacteria
August 28 - September 1, 2011 10th Symposium on Lactic Acid Bacteria
Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands Further information
Celebrating 30 years of lactic acid bacteria research. Organised under the auspices of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and the Netherlands Society for Microbiology (NVvM). The importance of Lactic Acid Bacteria in the production of foods. Throughout the world and their use as model systems for basic research has resulted in a continued scientific interest in these microorganisms by academic research groups as well as by industry. This research has resulted in numerous important scientific breakthroughs and has led to new applications. To communicate and stimulate the research on Lactic Acid Bacteria and their applications, a series of triannual symposia on Lactic Acid Bacteria was started in 1983. The aim of these state-of-the-art symposia is to offer a unique platform for researchers from academia and industry, active in this area of biotechnology, to present recent work, to obtain information on new developments and to exchange views with colleagues from all over the world on scientific progress and applications.

Aquatic Microbiology Conference
September 2 - 4, 2010 Aquatic Microbiology (Status, Challenges, and Opportunities)
Tamilnadu, India Further information
Aquatic microbiology is the science that deals with microscopic living organisms in fresh and salt water systems. Though aquatic microbiology encompasses all microorganisms, including microscopic plants and animals, it refers more commonly to the study of bacteria, actinobacteria, fungi and viruses and their relationships to other organisms in the aquatic environment. Aquatic microbial research embraces a variety of disciplines, ranging from molecular biology and physiology to population dynamics and ecosystem ecology. Aquatic microbes especially in the marine biotopes play a significant role in oceanic processes such as synthesising food, decomposing organic matter, recycling nutrients, and effecting climatic conditions. Although microbes constitute over 90% of oceanic biomass, their biodiversity remains largely unexplored. Microbial diversity and its functions will be significantly affected by critical phenomena such as ocean warming and EI Nino oscillation. Microbial biotechnological approaches and molecular techniques continue to provide us with information on microbes potential for various industrial applications, bio-geographical diversity and phylogeny. There is immense scope for bio-prospecting of aquatic microbes for a wide range of applications. Thus, aquatic microbiology remains instrumental for innovations and future discoveries.
