Microbial Stress: from Molecules to Systems II
Belgirate (VB), Maggiore Lake, Italy (May 10-13, 2012)
The meeting is focused on microbial stresses, covering experimental approaches from detailed molecular dissection of individual components to understanding stress responses at the whole cell and the whole population levels. It will bring together researchers, both academic and industrial, from all over the world, with a shared interest in all aspects of microbial stresses. This year, the themes will cover both intracellular and environmental stresses, the links between stress responses and energy metabolism, and the impacts of stress on microbial productivity. A must for all microbial physiologists, geneticists, cell biologists, biochemists, and systems biologists!
