The Leopoldina Symposium will be held from 5-8 April 2006 in Bremen.
Prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) have shaped the chemistry of the biosphere and of our planet over some billions of years and obviously formed the basis for the development of higher life. Higher organisms adopted their metabolic key capacities such as photosynthesis, respiration, or CO2 fixation from prokaryotes. Also the multiple, often "ingenious" mechanisms in symbioses as well as in pathogenic infections bear witness of a long, intimate interaction between these groups during evolution, usually referred to as co-evolution. The present symposium seeks to cover important developments in the study and understanding of the fascinating life strategies of free-living as well as of host-associated microorganisms and to bridge these areas from an environmental and evolutionary perspective.
