Research meeting: Principles of Microbial Ecosystems 2020

Research meeting (Zoominar): Principle of Microbial Ecosystems 2020
– how multi-omics data infer community assembly –

How can we find principles of microbial ecosystems? Microbial ecologists have long been struggling to understand “function”, “stability”, and “plasticity” of microbial communities. However, we still have a long way to find the principles since a huge number of species coexist and interact with each other to form a complex network relationship. Multi-omics approaches, comprehensive metabolic flux analyses, artificial model microbial consortia, mathematical modelling, and their combinations would lead us to develop effective approaches to the goal. We invite two outstanding researchers in this Zoominar and we hope this meeting is a good chance to exchange opinions about studies on “principles of microbial ecosystems”.
