Prizes awarded by Molecular Microbiology: Molecular Microbiology is keen to support the microbiology research community and regularly awards poster prizes at selected conferences. Winners receive a year's free online subscription to Molecular Microbiology and a prize cheque.
This premier Conference on the molecular biology and genomics of Gram-positive bacteria returns to San Diego California to celebrate the 30th year of its existence. The meeting will be held at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa on Mission Bay in the Mission Beach area of San Diego. This is a unique opportunity for families to enjoy the many attractions San Diego has to offer including the world famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Legoland and a host of museums in addition to the great variety of water sports. Additionally, it is only a short drive to Disneyland and other Los Angeles features. Mission Beach is the most interesting swimming and surfing beach in San Diego as well as the center of night life.
The meeting will focus on mechanisms of physiology, metabolism, pathogenicity and development of Gram-positive microorganisms. Recognized experts from industry and academia will present studies of the following related microorganisms: Bacillus, Clostridium, Enterococcus, Lactococcus and Lactobacillus spp, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Listeria, and others. Symposia addressing major biosynthetic and catabolic pathways and their control mechanisms unique to these organisms will permit an understanding of how this group of pathogenic and industrially important microbes grows and survives in its ecological niche.
