Microbial Genetics: is a subject area within microbiology and genetic engineering. Microbial genetics studies microorganisms for different purposes. The microorganisms that are observed are bacteria, and archaea. Some fungi and protozoa are also subjects used to study in this field.
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
Traditionally, virology has been focused in studying the pathogenic effect of viruses. In the recent years, however, this perception is changing and viruses are being studied as mutualistic...
MicroRNA(miRNA) are short non-coding single stranded RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post transcriptional level. They are known to play a critical role in multiple biologi...
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and specifically metagenomics became a...
Learning Objectives: 1. The main focus will be on the actual steps of the post harvest process with the key monitoring points that impact flower quality. 2. The secondary takeaway would be t...
Setting up an analytical laboratory requires a clear objective and analytical resources, both instrumentation and technical. The four main areas of focus exist during this process: 1) Instru...
Learning Objectives: 1. Introduce the audience to a general overview of bacterial and fungal contamination 2. Identify areas in the growing and manufacturing industries to monitor for bacter...

Scientific conferences are most beneficial to participants when they showcase significant new experimental developments, accurately summarize the current state of the field, and provide stron...
Vaginal microbial communities play an important role in women’s heath. It is now clear that the vaginal microbiome is linked to pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and risk f...
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and resistance mechanisms pose a serious challenge to laboratories in both hospital clinical microbiology and public health...
Plants recruit soil microbes that provide nutrients, promote growth and protect against pathogens. However, the full potential of microbial communities for supporting plant health and agricul...
With humans pushing to live further off Earth for longer periods of time, it is increasingly important to understand the changes that occur in biological systems during spaceflight whether th...
Background: The vast majority of all genes are contained within the genomes of the prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and the archaea. These largely single-cellular domains of life thus...
immunocompromised populations where the virus can cause systemic and even fatal infections. Indeed, we have shown that astrovirus infections are more prevalent than norovirus in our pediatric...
Traditional pathogen detection methods rely on the identification of pathogens known to be associated with a particular syndrome. In many cases, it involves complex methodology, lengthy proce...
