Dates

21-26 May 2005

Location

Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
The conference will take place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, on the Spanish Costa Brava, 120 km north of Barcelona and 30 km south of Girona. Group transportation will be arranged from/to Barcelona airport, on arrival and departure days.

Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants

This conference will focus on the newest developments in the analysis of the bioenergetic and ecophysiological traits of cyanobacteria. Full genome microarray analysis will be demonstrated in a comprehensible way, and those results will be compared to the advances in proteomics and metabolomics. These new techniques offer wide perspectives in filling the missing links in our understanding of bioenergetics and ecophysiology. The now resolved structures of the major complexes involved in energy conversion and conservation will be reviewed by leading experts, and so will be the implication of those complexes in functional structuring of cellular redox processes and nitrogen metabolism, with an open eye for progress in structuring of ecosystems.
