2019 Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Research Conference and Seminar
Abstract
Major Goals: The main goals of the Applied and Environmental Microbiology Gordon Research Conference are to provide an open forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research findings on industrial and applied applications of microorganisms at the single cell and ecosystem level. The 2019 conference will address on of the most urgent question sin microbiology: How can we employ what we have learned from co-evolution of Earth with microbial life to address current challenges of the Anthropocene? Microbiomes impact nearly all (eco) systems on Earth. They govern the health and fitness of macrobes, including us, by forming superorganisms. It is only through an improved understanding of this co-evolution, the languages that govern the interactions, as well as community dynamics that we will be able to predict and control microbiomes for important environmental and human outcomes. Accomplishments: The 2019 Applied and Environmental Microbiology (AEM) Conference addressed one of the most urgent questions in microbiology: How can we employ what we have learned from the co-evolution of Earth with microbial life to address current challenges of the Anthropocene? Microbiomes impact nearly all (eco)systems on Earth. They govern the health and fitness of macrobes, including us, by forming "superorganisms". It is only through an improved understanding of this co-evolution, the languages that govern the interactions, as well as community dynamics that we will be able to predict and control microbiomes for important environmental and human outcomes. As with previous AEM Conferences, 2019 provided an open forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research findings on the ecology and industrial applications of microorganisms in a broad spectrum of natural, industrial, and clinical environments.
