WELCOME TO COPENHAGEN
Welcome to 14th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology!
We have planned a spectacular scientific program that covers all facets
of our common research field as of today. From the ever-important
fields of genomics and diversity, evolution and novel organisms,
process regulation and pathways to the complex community studies
of interactions within microbial networks, specifying functional traits,
regulation of expression, communication, etc. We continue to see both
single-cell and community studies develop at a breath-taking pace - and
even the highest complexity of Nature´s micro-environments may not
today scare a modern Microbial Ecologist! We hope that you will enjoy
the program of Plenaries, Invited Sessions, Contributed Sessions,
Posters and Round Tables as much as we have enjoyed putting it
together for you.
We would like to express our gratitude to the people that have made this
meeting possible. Our thanks go out to the ISME Executive team and
the Local Organizing Committee who have volunteered so much of their
time to develop the program and other facets of the meeting. We would
also like to acknowledge two special and appreciated members of the
ISME team, Society Manager, Sarash de Wilde, and Events Assistant,
Sabine van Wegen, who have made tremendous efforts to make ISME14
successful! Special thanks are also due to Wonderful Copenhagen
(WoCo) giving us valuable advice from their long experience organizing
large congresses in the city of Copenhagen. Lastly, we wish to cordially
thank our sponsors and exhibitors for their contributions to the meeting.
Colleagues and ISME14 delegates - Thank you all for joining us in
beautiful Copenhagen to have an unforgettable meeting and help
advancing the science of our field. Denmark has a long and solid tradition
in Microbial Ecology and is proud to host ISME14. We hope you will have
a great ISME14!

XII
ISME’s Party venue is located in Kødbyen, Copenhagen’s meatpacking district,
which was established in the late 19th century.
Architect Ludvig Fenger was hired by the city in 1889 to construct Øksnehallen
(“Oxen Hall”), a municipal cattle barn. Completed in 1901, the building housed
1600 head of cattle; it continued to serve as a cattle barn until the 1960s.
Nowadays, the meatpacking district is no longer in use, but due to its unique
architecture and history, Kødbyen is deemed historic landmarks by the city of
Copenhagen. It now has been reborn as a vibrant culture hub, with galleries,
nightclubs, restaurants, and workplaces for creative professionals. And like the
rest of Kødbyen, Øksnehallen is a spectacular arena for multifaceted cultural
life.
Øksnehallen opens its doors for ISME delegates on 23 August, inviting you to
a spectacular three-course dinner, followed by a fantastic dance party with live
music. Dinner, a welcome drink and three additional drinks are included in the
price. Costs are € 88.00 (excl. Danish VAT).

Minik Rosing, National History Museum of
Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Minik Rosing is a professor of geology at the Natural
History Museum of Denmark, University of
Copenhagen, and has held an Allan C. Cox Visiting
professorship at Stanford University. He has
based most of his research on fieldwork in
Greenland. He has studied the formation of Earth’s
continents and the interaction between early Archean life and Earth environments and climate. He has
suggested that photosynthetic metabolic strategies evolved very early on Earth,
and that the ability to harvest Solar energy allowed Life to take control over Earth
surface environments more than 3800 million years ago. The interactions between
biologic metabolisms and Earth’s geochemical cycles ultimately resulted in the rise
of Earth’s continents.

Martin Ackermann, Department of Environmental
Sciences, ETH Zürich, and Department of
Environmental Microbiology, Eawag, Switzerland
Martin Ackermann has a joint appointment at ETH Zurich
and Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science
and Technology. He did his PhD on bacterial aging at the
University of Basel, and then worked for two years as a
postdoc at UC San Diego. He joined ETH Zurich in 2004,
and became professor for Molecular Microbial Ecology in
2008. The focus of his research group is on basic questions
on bacterial ecology and evolution: on the biological
significance of phenotypic heterogeneity in clonal populations, on interactions within
and between species, and on how bacteria cope with ever-changing environments.
The goal is to work on basic principles with model systems in the laboratory, and
then to test these principles in more natural situations. The group often works at
the level of single cells, and asks how this perspective provides insights that could
not be obtained by populations experiments. One of the current specific interests
is on how stochastic gene expression can promote the emergence of different
phenotypes in clonal populations, and in how these different phenotypes interact
with each other.

Michael Wagner, Department of Microbial
Ecology, University of Vienna, Austria
Michael Wagner is head of the Department of Microbial
Ecology and of the Core Facility for Advanced Isotope
Research at the University of Vienna. He received his
Ph.D. from the Technische Universität Munich, Germany,
in 1992 and subsequently worked as a Post-Doc at
the Northwestern University, USA, before he returned
to Munich as a group leader. In 2003, he became full
professor of Microbial Ecology at the University of
Vienna. Michael’s major research focus is the functional
characterization of bacteria and archaea in their natural environment. To this
end, Michael and colleagues have been instrumental in the development of
innovative single-cell methods such as fluorescence in situ hybridisation –
microautoradiography (FISH-MAR) and Raman-FISH. His work spans a variety of
microbial guilds including symbiotic chlamydiae, sulfate-reducing microbes as well
as nitrifying bacteria and archaea and has led to the discovery and characterization
of major new players among those groups.
Michael has published more than 170 papers and is listed in the ISI citation
ranking from June 2011 among the 10 most highly cited microbiology researchers
in the world. Michael is vice-president of the ISME, a chief editor of the journal
Environmental Microbiology, elected member of the German National Academy
of Sciences, Leopoldina, and a founding member of the European Academy of
Microbiology.

Patrick Forterre, Pasteur Institute, France
Patrick Forterre is Professor at the University of ParisSouth and senior member of the Institut Universitaire de
France. He supervises two research groups, one in Orsay
(Paris-South) and the other at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
From 2003 to 2009, he was director of the microbiology
department at the Institut Pasteur. Patrick Forterre had
been working on DNA replication in Bacteria; from 1984
until now, he became interested to Archaea, the third
domain of life, and works on various aspects of their
molecular biology. His research surprisingly led in 1997 to
the discovery of the enzyme responsible to trigger meiotic recombination (genetic
exchanges) in human. Patrick Forterre has always been interested in evolution
and wrote many theoretical papers discussing the early steps of life evolution,
the topology of the tree of life or else the nature and origin of hyperthermophilic
microbes. These last years, he became more and more interested in the origin
and nature of viruses and their role in life evolution. He recently suggested
that interaction between cells and viruses is the major force driving Darwinian
evolution. As an example, he proposed that DNA originated in the framework of
competition between ancient RNA cells and RNA viruses. His research group at the
Institut Pasteur currently focus on unusual features exhibited by viruses infecting
hyperthermophilic archaea, whereas his research group in Orsay is studying
production of membrane vesicles by living cells, a universal mechanism that could
be related to the origin of viruses.

Stephen J. Giovannoni is a Distinguished Professor,
in the Department of Microbiology at Oregon State
University. He received his B.A. in biology from the
University of California, San Diego, where his first
experience with bacteria was raising cells and isolating
photosynthetic reaction center proteins for physicist
George Feher. He earned his M.A. in Biology from
Boston University, where he studied under Lynn
Margulis. Dr. Giovannoni continued his education at
the University of Oregon, where he received a Ph.D.
in Biology for work with advisor Richard Castenholz to isolate and describe novel
thermophilic bacteria from Yellowstone National Park. He then joined Norman
Pace’s research team at Indiana University to develop molecular techniques for
studying microbial ecology, before accepting a faculty position at Oregon State
University.
Dr. Giovannoni’s research focuses on the microbial diversity, genomics and
ecology in marine ecosystems. He developed PCR methods to clone rRNA
genes from microbial communities and identified many cosmopolitan, uncultivated
bacterioplankton clades. In 2000 Dr. Giovannoni founded the High Throughput
Culturing Laboratory (HTCL) at Oregon State University with the aim of culturing
globally important marine bacterioplankton. A consistent theme in Dr. Giovannoni’s
research is the highly abundant marine alphaproteobacterium SAR11, which he
and his team discovered in 1990. In 2011 his research team reported that SAR11
are likely to share a common ancestor with mitochondria. Their current research
is focused on understanding SAR11 metabolism, and how these cells interact with
marine dissolved organic carbon.

on Friday 24 August.
The ISME Student Poster Award
The “ISME Student Poster Award” is reserved for students who are the first and
presenting author on a submitted poster presentation (proof of postgraduate
studentship will be required). Three outstanding posters will be chosen each day
(Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) of the ISME14 conference. Awardees will receive
free membership of ISME for 2013. The nine winning posters will be displayed in a
prominent location on Friday 24 August 2012. The awards will be presented at the
closing ceremony of ISME14.
The David C. White Award
David C. White’s vision was to honour and respect the power of quantitative
analytical chemistry to microbial ecology. Thus, the “D.C. White Award” will
be presented to the most innovative poster at the ISME14 conference. The
announcement of the “D.C. White Award” will be made at the closing ceremony of
the ISME14 symposium and will be presented by Sandy White.
The Bill Costerton Young Scientist Prize
The Bill Costerton Young Scientist Prize will recognise early career scientists
who demonstrate the most promising research that best evolves new theories in
Microbial Ecology that have wider inter-disciplinary significance.
The MO BIO Poster Award
Once again, our Gold Sponsor MO BIO will be selecting a poster out of the selected
ISME Poster awards to be the recipient of this inaugral award. The winner will be
announced during the closing ceremony and the award will be presented by MO
BIO CEO Mark Brolaski.
The Young Postdoc Research Award
The ISME Postdoctoral Research Awards will acknowledge the accomplishments
and promise of outstanding postdoctoral research associates on the basis of the
presentations that they make at the ISME Symposium. The criteria will include
scientific accomplishments and innovation as well as clarity of presentation at the
Symposium. Initial selection criteria will be on the basis of submitted abstracts that
will be chosen for oral presentations by the organizers. Final evaluation will be
made at the meeting, by evaluating the oral presentations of the candidates.

Description: The last and maybe the most difficult frontier for metagenomics is that
of the soil ecosystem, which arguably consists of the highest microbial
diversity and the greatest spatial and temporal heterogeneity of any of
our planet’s ecosystems. The objectives of this session are to increase
communication between active soil metagenomic researchers especially
as the NSF RCN “Terragenome” began this year, to provide valuable
experience-based discussions for starting soil metagenomists, and to
begin to bring some order in this young and growing field. This session
will provide a forum to initiate the development of a coordinated 10-year
plan for the international soil metagenomic community.

unique roles in various ecosystem processes and functions. In an ecosystem,
various microorganisms interact with each other to form complicated networks.
Thus, understanding the interactions among different species and their responses
to environmental changes is a central goal in ecology. However, elucidating
network interactions and their responses to environmental changes is difficult
due to the lack of appropriate experimental data and theoretical framework.
Although the network interactions and their responses to environmental changes
have been intensively studied in macroecology, very little is known in microbial
ecology. The availability of metagenomics technologies such as high throughput
sequencing and microarrays provides a great opportunuty for studying network
interactions among different populations in microbial communities. Now, a new
emerging field, network ecology, has been developed and significant progresses
have been made. Thus it is a time to have a special session to highlight the most
recent development in such an emerging field.
The objective of this roundtable session is to highlight the most recent
advances in network ecology to address fundamental questions important to
biogeochemistry, climate change, and human health. Special emphasis will be
placed on the development of new mathematical framework for network analysis
and applications on analyzing network interactions of microbial communities
related to soil microbial ecology, marine sciences, climate change and human
health. This session will also overview the network studies in macroecology and
system biology in general. This session will benefit microbiologists interested
in microbial ecology, systems biology, metagenomics, climate change,
biogeochemistry and human health. After attending this session, it is expected
that participants should be able to (i) recognize the most recent development
and applications of microbial network ecology; (ii) identify the challenges,
advantages, disadvantages and potentials of various approaches for network
analysis; (iii) obtain insights of several key microbial communities important to
biogeochemistry, global changes and human health.

Description: Ecosystem ecology focuses on the fluxes of material and energy in
natural and managed habitats.Even though microorganisms regulate
these fluxes, the disciplines of ecosystem ecology and microbial
ecology are not necessarily well integrated. To address this issue, out
roundtable will focus on the opportunities for cross-fertilization between
microbial ecosystem ecology, population/community ecology, and
evolution. The goal is to identify and discuss key research frontiers that
will significantly advance our understanding of the feedbacks between
microbial communities (i.e., structure and function) and ecosystemlevel processes. This workshop is part of a series of such discussions
being organized at conferences around the world during 2011-2012 to
solicit community input on future research directions. Results from the
discussion will serve as input for a final symposium (to be held at a later
date) that will involve approximately 50 participants and will produce
a “white paper” that would serve as an evaluation and direction for
complimentary disciplines. We envision this document being distributed
to funding agencies to guide future priority setting. The workshop
and symposium are partially supported by the US National Science
Foundation Division of Environmental Biology through a grant to the
Cary Institute for Ecosystem Studies in the US.

RT13: Guarding microbial diversity: importance for fundamental
and applied research
Chairperson: Paul de Vos, University of Ghent, Belgium
Description: Identification of microorganisms - being one of the goals of bacterial and
mycological taxonomy –becomes, in the light of the wealth of data as
generated via next-generation sequencing platforms, in the interest field
of a broad scala of researchers. The expertise in taxonomy is at the same
time declining (worldwide, except perhaps for Asia) and it is more and more
difficult to maintain standards in the submitted manuscripts that report new
species discovered from a variety of biotopes at an enhanced speed. There
is hence also an increasing need to deposit strains cited in publications for
pursuance of good science ensuring that published work can be validated
and followed up. Researchers need to work with culture collections to identify
their needs for fulfilling high standards imposed by their community.
EMbaRC (http://www.embarc.eu/), an FP7 EU project aims at harmonizing
expertise of European public Microbial Resource Centers (BRC’s) for
technical, methodological as well as accessibility aspects of their holdings
and management. Continuation of this effort on the long term is a
prerequisite to reach a pan-European infrastructure as meant in the ESFRI
road map in which the MIRRI proposal has been presented. Once the
infrastructure is operational, an integrated webportal will lead researchers
and other stakeholders to compiled information on resources and services
resulting in collaborative guarding and exploring microbial biodiversity.
Several public BRC’s already support the integration of data of their holdings
with publically available sequences and other taxonomic information via the
Straininfo bioportal (http://www.straininfo.net/) at the strain level.

RT14: Flow Cytometry in Microbiology
Chairperson:
Susann Müller, Helmholtz-Zentrum für
Umweltforschung GmbH – UFZ, Germany
Description: The still poorly explored world of microbial functioning in natural communities
is about to be uncovered by a combined appliance of older and new
technologies. Flow cytometry is such an older technology which is up to date
mainly used for analysing bacterial cell states and dynamics of cells in pure
populations. This is pitiful as flow cytometry is a cultivation independent,
high-throughput, and quantitative technology. The goal of this round table
discussion is to debate on how cytomic approaches will contribute to reveal
basic principles of microbial ecosystems.
As many methodological pitfalls prevented a breakthrough of this technology
in the past, the round table discussion will be preferably method-based and
will start on practiced handling of the cytometer and the microbes from the
very beginning (meaning instrumental setup, sampling, and detachment
and fixation procedures) and will debate how to treat vital and fixed cells
by applying structural and functional related fluorescent probes. Following,
a major part will address cell sorting applications which open the door to
“omics” technologies. How flow cytometry can also mediate insight into
complexity and functioning of natural microbial communities without using
the sorting approach will be another major part of this round table discussion.
We want to provide ideas on cytometric community pattern evaluation
that can be used to correlate community structure to certain functions of
particular members in a community.

Discussion (Berg & All): new methods in indoor microbiology, how
much sterility is possible, new concept for hygiene and control
Description: Transfer of conjugative plasmids across species boundaries plays an
important role in the adaptability of bacterial populations to man-made
pollution. Plasmid-mediated genetic variation ensures rapid adaptive
responses to challenges like irregular antibiotic or metal concentrations,
or opportunities like the utilization of xenobiotic compounds. Cultivationindependent detection and capture of plasmids from environmental
bacteria, and complete sequencing provided new insights into their role
and ecology.
This roundtable aims at discussing the recent progress in the
methodology to unravel the mobilome (with focus on plasmids).
We hypothesize that abundance of mobile genetic elements and
pollution are correlated and we seek for respective experimental and
retrospective evidences. Furthermore, sequence based insights into
mobile genetic elements form the basis of hypothesis driven experiments
which contribute to a better understanding of their contribution to
bacterial adaptability and diversity and the environmental factors that
trigger horizontal gene transfer. Plasmids seem to be a successful
strategy to ensure survival of bacterial population in spatially and
temporally heterogeneous conditions with various environmental
stresses or opportunities that occur irregularly or as a novel challenge.

RT15: Indoor microbiology: new molecular-based insights
and management strategies
Description: Microbial communities living inside buildings and rooms are important
for human health. Another aspect is production rooms for specific
products, e.g. food, pharmaceuticals, space crafts etc. or hospitals, in
which sterility is required. However, what means sterility in rooms and
how much sterility is really necessary? It is widely recognized that the
majority of microorganisms cannot be readily cultivated and thus, the
overall diversity of microorganisms associated with indoor environments
remains largely unknown. The new molecular and microscopic
techniques such as high-throughput sequencing and fluorescence in
situ hybridization (FISH) have opened the black box of indoor microbial
communities and revealed a high diversity of archaea, bacteria and
fungi. Human-associated microbes are commonly found especially
on surfaces suggesting that bacterial pathogens could readily be
transmitted between individuals. The new techniques and bioinformatic
tools also allowed the evaluation of concepts for hygiene and sterility.
In this round table, new insights into indoor microbiology for different
environments such as living space or clean rooms for spacecraft
assembly and intensive care units will be presented (e.g. MoisslEichinger 2010; Kembel et al. 2012; both ISME J). Furthermore, efficient
management strategies and new possibilities to (biologically) control
these microorganisms into a beneficial direction will be discussed.

RT17: Microbial invasions: What defines whether a
microorganism is an invasive species?
Chairperson: Emma L. Aronson, University of California, Irvine, USA
Description: In recent years many attempts have been made to understand whether
“everything is everywhere” and to what extent the environment selects
communities of microorganisms. These studies have begun to elucidate microbial
biogeography, dispersal patterns and barriers to dispersal. As our understanding
of drivers of microbial biogeography takes shape, a new question emerges: can a
microbe be considered invasive?
The goal of this roundtable is to consider whether microorganisms, bacteria in
particular, may be considered “invaders” and to envision situations under which
bacteria may be invasive. Currently, most microbial ecologists do not consider
bacteria as invasive species. However, an increasing amount of research is
showing that climatic, environmental and biological drivers (especially invasive
plants and animals) can introduce bacteria to new environments, causing
changes in the dominant members of microbial communities.
The definition we adopt of “invasive (species)” is not inclusive of all translocated
species, but specific to those that cause harm in high numbers to the species
already present. In eukaryotes, particularly humans, there are bacteria considered
invasive due to their harmful effects on their hosts. Transplanted bacteria from
foreign bodies of water are considered invasive when they display negative
effects on the other inhabitants of the body of water. The leap that we are
considering with this roundtable is whether introductions of novel bacteria can be
considered “harmful” if they change the core bacterial community and, possibly,
the ecosystem functions of that community. If so, we can define translocated
bacteria as “invasive” due to the harm they cause.
