Open-call Symposium : [1AS-08] Microbial multicellularity: biofilms, swarms, developmental and functional differentiation in microbial collectives

[1AS-08]【E】Microbial multicellularity: biofilms, swarms, developmental and functional differentiation in microbial collectives

Wed. Nov 27, 2024 9:00 AM - 11:15 AM JST
Wed. Nov 27, 2024 12:00 AM - 2:15 AM UTC
Room 8(Fukuoka International Congress Center, 4F 414)
Organizer: Martin Robert (Kyoto University), Kazuki Nosho (The University of Tokyo)
Living organisms do not live in isolation. Even unicellular microorganisms form assemblies displaying emergent properties. The study of microbial multicellularity in bacteria, yeast, or amoeba, among others, is undergoing a renaissance and recent findings suggest remarkable and unsuspected complexity in large collectives of microbial cells such as biofilms. In this symposium we would like to showcase the latest research advances aiming to decipher this complexity by integrating the molecular, cellular, and biophysical levels.
