topics include the following:
1)Marker genes for monitoring microorganisms in environmental samples
(including intrinsic markers)
2) Reporter genes for monitoring bacterial gene expression in the
environment (including biosensors)
3) Methods for detection and monitoring of specific microorganisms in nature
4) Biosafety of genetically modified microorganisms in nature
5) Microbial activity in the environment
6) Microbial cell communication and signalling in the environment
7) Biotechnological applications of microorganisms for the environment and
