Track 1: Microbial Biofuels

Fossil fuels viz., coal and oil these fuels are still the primary source of energy for the world’s developed nations, and yet it is considered as these traditional sources of energy cannot continue to power humanity’s growth into the future. Demand for oil refining is high these days, and will only increase as developing nations continue to grow. Many researchers predict that the rate of world oil production has already peaked, and that it is only decreasing from now onwards as fewer oil reserves are found. This decreasing supply and rising need will drive up the price of oil and other fossil fuels, and will make them economically un-sustainable. Use of fossil fuels concern other problems as well, most importantly that their consumption is unsustainable. To burn fossil fuels produces huge quantities of the greenhouse gas CO₂(carbon dioxide), which has a bad impact on the Earth’s environment by contributing to global warming. For all of these reasons, there is great importance to pursue the development of renewable energy sources, specifically microbial biofuels.

Microbial metabolism is vastly changing, and can utilize and produce a wide variety of useful chemical molecules. Microbial systems are also well understood and easy to manipulate genetically, and new scientific advances will only make these systems easier to work and understand with in the future. Although there is no biofuel option currently available which solves all of the environmental issues associated with fossil fuels this makes microbial biofuels as useful and important target for research.

Track 2: Cellular and Infection Microbiology

Cellular microbiology is a discipline that binds cell biology and microbiology. Cellular microbiology tries to use pathogenic microbes as inventive tools for cell-biology research, and to allow cell-biology methods to understand the pathogenicity of microbes. Virulence factors and toxins from microbes have been used for decades to develop processes in eukaryotic cells and to study them. It has appeared that applying a purified toxin on a cell does not always provide the complete process, and that understanding the role of the toxin in pathogenicity, the way the toxin promotes the microbe, the way the toxin is produced and the co-evolution of the toxin and its host-cell counterparts, is crucial.

Infection is the invading body tissues of an organism, by disease-causing agents, their amplification, and the reaction of host tissues to these causative agents and the toxins they produce. Host body can fight infections using their immune system.

Track 3: Microbial Degradation

Microbial degradation is the use of biocatalysis and biotransformation and bioremediation methods to harness the naturally occurring ability of microbial xenobiotic metabolism to degrade, accumulate or transform harmful environmental pollutants, including , polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hydrocarbons (e.g. oil), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), radionuclides, heterocyclic compounds (such as quinoline or pyridine), pharmaceutical products and metals.

Interest in the microbial biodegradation of pollutants has improved in recent years, and latest major methodological breakthroughs have enabled detailed Genomic, Proteomic, Metagenomic, Bio-informatic and other high-throughput techniques analyses of environmentally relevant microorganisms, providing new ways into wide bio-degradative pathways and ability of organisms to adapt to changing environmental parameters and conditions.

Biological processes play a major role in the removal of contaminants, pollutants and take advantage of the catabolic variability of microorganisms to convert, degrade or catabolize such compounds. In environmental microbiology, genome-based high level studies are increasing the understanding of regulatory and metabolic networks, as well as providing new innovative information on the evolution of molecular adaptation and degradation pathways strategies to changing environmental conditions for beneficial uses.

Track 4: Antibiotics and Chemical Genomics

Antibiotic resistance is a public health issue of global dimensions with a significant impact on morbidity, mortality and healthcare-associated costs. The problem has recently been worsened by the steady increase in multi-resistant strains and by the restriction of antibiotic discovery and development programs. Recent advances in the field of bacterial genomics will further current knowledge on antibiotic resistance and help to tackle the problem. Bacterial genomics and Transcriptomics can inform our understanding of resistance mechanisms, and comparative genomic analysis can provide relevant information on the evolution of resistant strains and on resistance genes and cognate genetic elements. Moreover, bacterial genomics, including functional and structural genomics, is also proving to be instrumental in the identification of new targets, which is a crucial step in new antibiotic discovery programs.

Track 5: Microbes in Pro-Biotics

Probiotics are microorganisms that are believed to provide health benefits when consumed. Probiotic is an organism which gives beneficial effects when ingested or consumed by humans or animals. The term came into more common use after 1980. The introduction of the concept is generally attributed to recipient Élie Metchnikoff, who in 1907 suggested that "the dependence of the intestinal microbes on the food makes it possible to adopt measures to modify the flora in our bodies and to replace the harmful microbes by useful microbes". A significant expansion of the potential market for probiotics has led to higher requirements for scientific substantiation of putative beneficial effects conferred by the microorganisms. Studies on the medical benefits of probiotics have yet to reveal a cause-effect relationship, and their medical effectiveness has yet to be conclusively proven for most of the studies conducted thus far.

Track 6 : Microbial Biofilms

A biofilm is a collection of microbial communities enclosed by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) and separated by a network of open water channels. These communities adhere to manmade and natural surfaces, such as metals and teeth, typically at a liquid-solid interface

Track 7: Microbiology Immunology

Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology focuses on the origin and development of human diseases with an emphasis on microbial agents and molecular mechanisms of host response and immune function. Research emphasis is placed on infectious agents (bacteria, viruses and parasites), including microbial adherence, invasion of host cells and intracellular survival, evasion of immune responses, vector-borne diseases and microbial toxins. Research on host resistance and response pathways is studied, including cellular and humoral immune responses to microbes and their products.

Track 8: Bacterial Pathogenesis

Bacterial infections are being caused by pathogenic bacteria. This information includes human pathogenic bacteria.

Although most bacteria are beneficial or often harmless, some are pathogenic. One of the biggest bacterial diseases with the highest disease causes is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about million people per year, mostly in Africa. Pathogenic bacteria also contributes to other diseases, such as pneumonia, which is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Food borne diseases,which are caused by bacteria such as Campylobacter, Shigella, and Salmonella. Pathogenic bacteria are also responsible for causing infections such as typhoid fever, tetanus, diphtheria, syphilis, leprosy etc. These bacteria are also the cause of high infant mortality rates in most of the countries. Koch's postulates viz., four criteria established by Robert Koch, are the limitations to establish a causative relationship between a disease and a microbe.

Track 9: Biotechnologies and Human Health

Extraordinary advances in science been seen since last few decades. Biotechnology - one such area of growth - is the term involving a broad spectrum of scientific applications used in many fields, such as agriculture and health. It involves the use of living organisms, or parts of living organisms, to provide new techniques of production and make new products for the benefit of human beings. From new vaccines to prevent disease to genetically modified plants with resistance to pests; from replacement heart valves that are better accepted by the body to treatments for human infertility; and from bacteria capable of cleaning up bioremediation oil spills to environmentally friendly microbial biofuels - Applied Biotechnology (sometimes also referred to as life sciences, genetic modification, or genomics), like any new technology, offers us potential benefits and potential risks.

Track 10 : Microbial Nanotechnology

Microbiology relates to Nano science at a number of levels. Many bacterial entities are Nano-machines in nature, including molecular motors like flagella and pili. Bacteria also form biofilms by the process of self-assembly (for example the formation of Curli-film by E. coli). The formation of aerial hyphae by bacteria and fungi is also directed by the controlled and ordered assembly of building blocks. Also, the formation of virus capsids is a classical process of molecular recognition and self-assembly at the Nano-scale

Track 11: Microbial Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is branch and an application of computer technology to the management of biological data and information. Genetic and Biological information is being collected, stored, analysed and integrated to produce or formulate gene-based drug discovery and drug development.

The Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics Research Group developed enabling technologies to investigate and to know the genetic potential of marine bacteria and their mechanisms coded in the genome to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Science and services are dependent and focussed on next generation sequence analysis of whole meta-genomes and genomes, classification and phylogenetic inference, as well as database and software development for integrated data analysis.
This group organizes international training and workshops courses on phylogeny and bioinformatics.

Track 12: Bacterial Geo Microbiology

Geo microbiology refers to the activities of the micro-organisms that live beneath the surface of the earth. The field of the study is also known as biochemistry and subsurface microbiology. Habitats of the organism include deep within the earth that makes up Earth’s crust. The study of the indentities and activity of the organism is such important from a basic science point and for commercial reasons.

Track 13: Plant Micro-Biome

Plant Microbiology is a field of microbiology related with plant-associated microbes. This field aims to address problems in agricultural farming and practices usually caused by a lack of biodiversity in microbial communities. An understanding of microbial strains related to agricultural applications is useful in the enhancement of factors such as soil nutrients, crop robustness, plant-pathogen resistance, fertilization uptake efficiency and more. The many symbiotic relationships and association between microbes and plants can ultimately be exploited for greater food production necessary to feed the expanding human population, in addition to safer farming techniques for the sake of minimizing ecological disruption.

Track 14: Microbial Biotechnology

Microorganisms have been used to provide products such as beer, bread and wine. A second phase of traditional Microbial Biotechnology started during World War I and resulted in the development of the glycerol and acetone-butanol fermentations, followed by processes yielding, for example, vitamins citric acid and antibiotics. In the early 1970s, traditional industrial microbiology was combined with molecular biology to yield more than 40 biopharmaceutical products, such as human growth hormone, erythropoietin and interferons. Today, Microbiology is a major participant in global industry, especially in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries.

Track 15: Microbial Pharmaceuticals

Microbial Pharmaceuticals is an applied branch of Microbiology. It involves the study of microorganisms associated with the manufacture of pharmaceuticals e.g., excluding microorganisms, minimizing the number of microorganisms in a process environment and microbial by-products like endotoxin and exotoxin from water and other starting materials, and ensuring the finished pharmaceutical product is pure and sterile. Other aspects of pharmaceutical microbiology include the research and development of anti-infective agents, the use of microorganisms to detect carcinogenic and mutagenic activity in prospective drugs, and the use of microorganisms in the preparation of pharmaceutical products like insulin and human growth hormone.

Track 16: Antimicrobials, Resistance and Chemotherapy

An antimicrobial is an agent that will kill microorganisms or will inhibit their growth. Agents that will kill microbes are called microbicidal, while those that normally inhibit their growth are called biostatic. Antimicrobial medicines can be organized according to the microorganisms they act against. For example, antibiotics are used against bacteria and antifungals are used against fungi. Actually they can also be classified according to their function. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when a microbe improves to become more or fully resistant to antimicrobials which previously could treat it. This broader term also covers antibiotic resistance, which applies to bacteria and antibiotics.

Chemotherapy (also called chemo) is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. Antimicrobial chemotherapy is the clinical application of antimicrobial agents to treat infectious disease.

Track 17: Agricultural Biotechnology

Agriculture is the raising of fungi, animals and fungi for medicinal plants, food, fiber, biofuel and other products used to sustain and improve human life. It includes agricultural economy, agrochemicals viz., pesticides and fertilizers, plant breeding, selective breeding, animal welfare, genetically modifies organisms, etc

Agricultural biotechnology also titled as agritech is an area of Biotechnology, which involves use of techniques and scientific tools including molecular markers, genetic engineering, molecular diagnostics, tissue culture and vaccines all to modify and improve living organisms: animals, plants and microorganisms.

Evolution Of Microbial Market :

Biomicrobial market has been used successfully to explain cooperative behavior in many animal species. Microbes also engage in cooperative behaviors, both with hosts and other microbes, that can be described in economic terms. However, a market approach is not traditionally used to analyze these interactions. Here, extending the biological market framework to ask whether this theory is of use to evolutionary biologists studying microbes. Considering six economic strategies used by microbes to optimize their success in markets. An economic market framework is a useful tool to generate specific and interesting predictions about microbial interactions, including the evolution of partner discrimination, hoarding strategies, specialized versus diversified mutualistic services, and the role of spatial structures, such as flocks and consortia. There is untapped potential for studying the evolutionary dynamics of microbial systems. Market theory can help structure this potential by characterizing strategic investment of microbes across a diversity of conditions.

Biological market theory offers a potentially valuable framework for studying microbial cooperation among species. We predict that its primary contribution will be to generate new experimental questions and hypotheses in the field of social microbiology. Also, applying market theory to microbial mutualisms will be an important test of the robustness of market-based principles as a more general principle of social behavior. We identified six strategies microbes use or benefit from to optimize their success in markets. This list will no doubt grow as researchers uncover new ways in which microbes manipulate trade in their favor. Because they are typically easy to manipulate, microbial markets will be useful systems for testing questions about biological markets in general . These include the evolution of partner choice, responses to price fluctuations, and identification of the market conditions that drive specialization vs. diversification, while simultaneously taking into account the biological context of exchange. In the current era of synthetic biology, a microbial market perspective can increase our understanding of the complex feedbacks among partners and inspire the engineering of novel interactions. This will both drive forward our understanding of microbiology and increase our knowledge of cooperation in general.

Evolution of	Question	Suggested approaches
Variation in partner quality	What is individual variation in market prices?	Descriptive; study microbial individuality
	Is it influenced by level of competition?	Manipulate level of competition; study change in partner quality variation
	Can it be used in an applied way?	Identify best genotypes for systems useful to humans; use experimental evolution to generate variation
Partner discrimination	Can microbes simultaneously evaluate partners and discriminate?	Track nutrients in networks/aggregates of microbes interacting with multiple partners
	For free-living microbes, can (chemotactic) mobility achieve discrimination?	Choice experiments between high- and low-quality partners
	Is discrimination more likely in multicellular than in single-celled microbes?	Descriptive studies; compare occurrence of partner discrimination
	Does spatial structure promote discrimination?	Analyze preference for quality partners in consortia/biofilms vs. in free-living microbes
Markets under volatility	Do trading partners respond to resource volatility according to market hypotheses?	Manipulate resources; track effects on microbial trade
Markets under volatility	What (a)biotic factors influence supply/demand of resources and affect trade patterns?	Manipulate conditions to increase/decrease value of a resource; track effects on trade
Hoarding	Do microbes hoard resources?	Track resource storage, particularly in “farmers”
Hoarding	Do microbes trade hoarded resources at a later stage?	Manipulate market conditions so trade is not beneficial; change supply/demand to see trade increase.

Applied Microbial Markets:

Lastly, there is potential applied value in using biological market theory to help identify the conditions under which trade is maximized for particular partners. This could have benefits in agriculture and medicine. In agriculture, natural selection favors microbes that maximize their own fitness and gain of resources over that of their host or competitors. This can conflict with the goals of agriculture or other industries, where humans favor microbes that maximize yields of their crop hosts or other products. Once we have a better understanding of the conditions under which microbes transfer more resources, we can use experimental manipulations to select for microbes offering better market prices to their hosts . Likewise in medicine, an increased understanding of trade by pathogenic microbes might be useful to disrupt these markets and promote host health. Recent work suggests that host partner choice is important in shaping gut microbiota composition, which has a key role in shaping human and animal health and behavior.
