2022 Microbial Stress Response GRC/GRS
Abstract
Major Goals: Bacteria and Archaea face a nearly constant onslaught of diverse stressors, including nutrient limitations, temperature changes, antibiotics, phage, host immune systems, and more. Whether they can properly detect and respond to such stressors largely determines their survival in a world of fierce competition. Microbes have evolved finely tuned and sophisticated regulatory mechanisms for responding to stress by controlling genome duplication and repair, gene expression, proteostasis, RNA processing, and both central and secondary metabolism - collectively, these responses enable survival in a range of harsh conditions. Thus, delineating how microbes respond to stress will elucidate the fundamental principles governing key cellular processes. Understanding microbial stress responses will also significantly impact biotechnology, environmental biology, and medicine. The latest advances in this field will be the subject of the 2022 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Microbial Stress Response to be held July 17-22 at Mount Holyoke College.
