Just got this by email:

We are pleased to inform you that the International Symposium

“MIMAS2 – Microbial Interactions in Marine Systems”

will be held

in Greifswald, Germany,

from August 20th to 22nd, 2018.

The conference will focus on:

• Microbial-mediated ecosystem functions and adaptation strategies of marine bacteria
• The physiology of uncultivable marine symbionts
• Ecophysiological interdependencies of bacteria within marine microbial assemblages
• Molecular mechanisms of bacterial degradation of marine polysaccharides

For further information on the conference, abstract submission and registration please visit: http://mimas2018.marine-biotechnologie.de/

Abstracts for the symposium may be submitted until June 30th, 2018. The deadline for early bird registration is June 1st, 2018.

We would be glad to welcome you in Greifswald and hope to spark your interest with the scientific focus of our meeting. Additionally,

we recommend combining your conference participation in Greifswald with a visit to the beautiful islands Rügen (https://www.ruegen.de/) and

Usedom (https://usedom.de/) with their unique and marvellous beaches. 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Greifswald in August 2018.

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
