ISME Conference Report

I am in Montreal at ISME16 (16th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology). Yesterday I presented a poster on our Anabaena - nitrogen interaction model. This is a very exciting meeting with many presentations that are very close to my research area. I listened to talks about the role of uncultured bacteria that live in symbiosis with eukaryotes and fix N in the ocean and “cable bacteria" that move electrons over distances of centimeters in sediments. There are so many interesting ecological problems where our modeling approach can make a contribution. The list of “future projects” continues to grow...

Special Issue in Frontiers in Microbiology

In collaboration with Frontiers in Microbiology, section Systems Microbiology, we are organizing a Research Topic titled "The Individual Microbe: Single-Cell Analysis and Agent-Based Modelling", hosted by Weiwen Zhang, Johan Leveau, Clara Prats, Jan-Ulrich Kreft, Ferdi L Hellweger. We would like to encourage you to contribute to this topic. Please find more information at the homepage we have created on the Frontiers website, which defines the focus of the topic, and where all published articles will appear.
