Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to join the 1st International Electronic Conference on Microbiology (ECM 2020) that is hosted online by: https://ecm2020.sciforum.net/.
ECM 2020 will present the latest research related to prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and prions. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Gut Microbiota and Health Disease
- Foodborne Pathogens and Food Safety
- Antimicrobial Agents and Resistance
- Emerging Infectious Diseases
- Successful Bacterial Clones
- Cyclic Di-Nucleotide Signaling
- Ecology and Physiology of Acidobacteria
- Microbial Characterization and Bioprocess
- Digitalisation and automation for the characterization of microorganisms and bioprocess development
- Expression of difficult to express proteins
- Microbial bioprocess development with synthetic microorganisms (microorganisms which have been created by means of synthetic biology)
- Microbe-Plant Interactions
- Endophytic microbes: Applications and effects on plant hosts
- Nitrogen-fixing symbioses in plants
- Microbe-plant interactions in plant disease
- Symbioses effects on plant resilience in a changing climate
- A new agriculture employing symbiotic microbes in place of agrochemicals
- Evolutionary Insights into Parasitism, Pathogenicity, and Drugable Targets in the Alveolata
ECM 2020 seeks to fulfill this need by offering a completely digital (online) method for running a scientific conference. ECM 2020 will allow its participants to share their latest research results and receive near-instantaneous feedback from microbiology researchers throughout the world through online question and answer sessions and discussion groups. In this way, ECM 2020 will serve as a platform for advancing the state-of-the-art in microbiology. There is no cost to participate in ECCS 2020.
All submitted abstracts will be evaluated by the conference committee. Upon acceptance of their abstract, authors will contribute an extended abstract for the conference proceedings and a slide presentation of their work. The authors of the most outstanding contributions will be invited to submit a full manuscript for potential publication in Microorganisms (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/microorganisms).
I hope you will choose to be a part of this exciting conference and present your most transformative research on microbiology.
