POVZETEK PREDAVANJA

It is increasingly recognized that the transfer of conjugative plasmids across species boundaries plays a vital role in the adaptability of bacterial populations in soil. There are specific driving forces and constraints of plasmid transfer within bacterial communities in soils. Plasmid-mediated genetic variation allowed rapid adaptive responses to challenges like irregular antibiotic or metal concentrations, or opportunities like the utilization of xenobiotic compounds. Cultivation-independent detection and capture of plasmids from soil bacteria, and complete sequencing provided new insights into their role and ecology. Broad-host-range plasmids like those belonging to IncP-1 transfer a wealth of accessory functions which are carried by similar plasmid backbones. Plasmids with a narrower host range can be more specifically adapted to particular species and often transfer genes which complement chromosomally encoded functions. Plasmids seem to be an ancient and successful strategy to ensure survival of a soil population in spatial and temporal heterogeneous conditions with various environmental stresses or opportunities, that occur irregularly or as a novel challenge in soil.

Vljudno vabljeni na 6. MIKROBIOLOŠKI VEČER SMD v Hiši eksperimentov, v sklopu katerega se bo odvijalo poljudnoznanstveno predavanje dr. Tatjane Tišler z naslovom:
Mikroorganizmi kot pokazatelji okolju nevarnih lastnosti onesnaževal.
Številne kemikalije in komercialni proizvodi, ki jih uporabljamo v vsakdanjem življenju, imajo poleg uporabnih lastnosti tudi nezaželjene, pogoste med njimi so strupenost, obstojnost in kopičenje v organizmih. V času njihove proizvodnje, transporta, skladiščenja in uporabe le-te zaidejo v vodno okolje, kjer lahko škodljivo delujejo na tam živeče vodne organizme, posredno pa tudi na zdravje ljudi. Kako ovrednotiti in napovedati potencialne negativne učinke onesnaževal na organizme? Z uporabo bioloških preskusov pridobimo koristne informacije. Ravno mikroorganizmi so skupina organizmov, ki jih pogosto uporabljamo za oceno strupenosti, obstojnosti in tudi estrogenske aktivnosti kemikalij, njihovih mešanic in komercialnih proizvodov.

Predavanje bo v ČETRTEK, 19.4.2012, z začetkom ob 20:30

Vljudno vabljeni na predavanje prof. dr. Jureta Piškurja z naslovom Comparative genomics.

Predavanje bo v ponedeljek, 19.3. 2012 ob 11:00 v predavalnici B4, Biološko središče, Večna pot 111

Povzetek predavanja:

The first bacterial genome was elucidated in 1995 and the first eukaryote one in 1996. Now every year the sequence of a hundred of new bacterial genomes and tens of eukaryote genomes are elucidated and becomes available for public and for research. These data represent an enormous and potentially growing data and tool reservoir.

Prof. Piškur will address questions like: How can I access these valuable data to improve a set of my research tools? How can I “browse” a genome to improve my knowledge of a certain organism?  How can I use these data to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among target organisms, and how I can use genomic data to reconstruct the organism evolutionary history?

He will talk about the above topics and illustrate them with his laboratory pet: yeast. He will focus on his recent Nature Communication paper (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21556056) but also on his recent and unpublished results focusing on genome analysis of wine yeast, and the evolutionary history of the yeast ability to produce ethanol as a tool to out-compete other microbes.

I am delighted to invite you to The Congresses of the International Union of Microbiological Societies. On behalf of the National Organizing Committee, I look forward to welcoming you in Montréal between July 27 and August 1, 2014.

For the XIVth International Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology, the XIVth International Congress of Mycology and the XVIth International Congress of Virology, we want to promote international sharing, cooperation and open discussions on recent advances in microbiology research. These congresses bring together the largest, most comprehensive group of microbiology researchers at a single gathering. This world class event draws upon the expertise and experience of organizations and countries from across the globe.

Special efforts will be made to attract as many young scientists as possible, both from developed and from low and middle income countries.

Montréal is an ideal venue for such a gathering, a cultured centre of learning and commerce, vastly experienced in welcoming the world. Being the world’s second-largest French-speaking city, it is a land of hospitality and openness.

The science, the special events planned by the Organizing Committee, and by the city itself will make this meeting an unforgettable experience that you will find both entertaining and stimulating. Plan to join us at what will be a terrific international event. This will indeed be a rendez-vous not to be missed!

Vabljeni na 5. MIKROBIOLOŠKI VEČER SMD v Hiši eksperimentov, v sklopu katerega se bo odvijalo poljudnoznanstveno predavanje dr. Mateja Butale z naslovom: “Bakterije, povratek odpisanih?”

Preteklih 60 let uporabljamo antibiotike za zdravljenje bakterijskih infekcij, a je danes učinkovitost zdravljenja resno ogrožena zaradi porajanja odpornosti proti antibiotikom. Kako je mogoče, da so se bakterije tako hitro prilagodile? Z odgovorom na vprašanje bomo razumeli, zakaj moramo antibiotike uporabljati preudarno ter kje so možnosti za razvoj novih učinkovin.

Predavanje bo v ČETRTEK, 16.2.2012
