This is the second announcement for the International Conference on
Alpine and Polar Microbiology, which will be held in Innsbruck, Austria,
from 27-30 March 2006. The objective of this meeting is to bring
together scientists and professionals to discuss all aspects of
psychrophilic and cold-tolerant microorganisms, in a trans-polar and
alpine context. It will be an exciting opportunity to enjoy the
scientific content of the conference as well as the natural beauty of
the Tyrolean Alps.
The broad conference topics for oral and poster sessions are:
- Ecology and biodiversity of cold terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
- Biogeochemistry and nutrient cycling in cold ecosystems
- Biotransformation and biodegradation of biopolymers and xenobiotics at
low temperatures - Physiology and metabolism of psychrophiles: Biochemistry, molecular
biology, structural biology, and stress responses, etc. - Genetic approaches: Genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics of cold
growth - Biotechnology using psychrophiles: Bioremediation of contaminated cold
environments, cold-active enzymes, genetic tools, etc. - Astrobiology
- Methods in alpine and polar biosciences
