Microbial One-Carbon Conversion from the Microscale to the Global Scale

The Gordon Research Seminar on the Molecular Basis of Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism is a unique meeting for young researchers at the graduate, postdoctoral or early career level to present and exchange cutting-edge research in an environment of global young experts in the field.

Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism sparked the transition of abiotic Earth to a planet with early life. These early carbon fixing and energy conserving metabolic pathways are still employed by many contemporary organisms that play key roles in the global carbon cycle and in a number of industrial processes. This meeting will be a unique international forum to discuss recent advances in the fields of fundamental and applied research ranging from biochemistry, physiology, ecology, evolution, metabolic engineering and synthetic biology investigating Microbial One-Carbon Metabolism.
