Regine Hengge Announced as EMBO Keynote Closing Lecture at Microbial Stress 2020
|
This 3-day meeting of the European Federation of Biotechnology addresses the applied and fundamental aspects of the microbial responses to stress which underpin the many biotechnological applications and innovations involving the use of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms.
The meeting will be co-organising a cross-disciplinary workshop with the COST Action CA18113 EuroMicropH on acid tolerance in bioprocess microorganisms.
Take advantage of our reduced rates by registering before the Early Bird Registration deadline: 25 July 2020.

COVID-19 Contingency Plan
We are monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely and will adhere to all relevant authorities’ recommendations. On September 4th we will issue a final confirmation that the meeting will be held in Rome. If the circumstances do not allow for a live meeting, we will hold a virtual conference instead, with presentations being delivered online. If this situation occurs, a 75% refund will be applied to all registration fees paid.

EFB Journal New BiotechnologyBiodegradation of antibiotics: The new resistance determinants – part IHistory shows that the discovery of, and the resistance to, antibiotics go hand in hand. While knowledge of resistance mechanisms, their impact and distribution is vast, over the years, the topic of antibiotic degradation has often been overlooked and regarded as being discrete from the research on resistance. As a result, understanding of the degradation of antibiotics and the impact of antibiotic degraders on the environment and human health are, for most classes, neither thoroughly documented nor understood. Current information on the biodegradation of antibiotics is described in two review articles. This first part focuses on sulfonamides, trimethoprim, aminoglycosides, amphenicols and tetracyclines. Detailed metabolic and molecular aspects as well as the role of the degraders in natural microbial communities are discussed. An integrated analysis of the accumulated data indicates that appreciation of the interplay between resistance and degradation is quite fragmented, and closing this gap will require novel experimental approaches.

Czech Republic RBO Centre of the Region Haná for BiotechnologicalCinderella: helping to prepare samples for plant research A robotic system called Popelka (Cinderella), designed to automatically prepare samples for the research of plant behaviour in various environments, has been developed by researchers at the Centre of the Region Haná for Biotechnological and Agricultural Research (CRH) in collaboration with Stäubli Systems and Palacký University’s Science and Technology Park (STP). Unlike the fairy-tale character, the automated device does not sort peas from lentils, but can very accurately, meticulously, and persistently transfer miniature plant seeds to plates, test tubes, or flowerpots, thus significantly speeding up the preparation of experiments
