IV International Conference MICROBIAL DIVERSITY: resource potential ICOMID 2016
23-25 November 2016 Moscow 32A Leninsky prospekt, President Hall, RAS
We invite you to participate in the conference, the fourth in the series of International conferences on microbial diversity, co-organized by the Institute of Ecology and Genetics of Microorganisms, UB RAS, and other institutions from Russia and abroad. The conference reflects high responsibility of scientists for nature conservation and their awareness that the balance of biological systems on the Earth can only be achieved by joint efforts of the international community to preserve well-functioning microbiocenoses.
