Aims and Goal
Socio-Microbiology research working group (SM group) aims to understand microbial ecosystems which are well-adapted to fluctuations in natural environments. A theme of “Socio-Microbiology” is to clarify central and general tenets of microbial societies where a variety of microorganisms coexist and interact each other. SM group organizes symposiums and workshops to promote exchanges among researchers in microbial ecology, macro-ecology, systems biology, mathematical biology, sociology, economics and so on.
