21. Microbiological surveillance of biogas plants : focusing on the acetogenic community
Abstract : Biogas process has great potential for reducing the current dependence on fossil fuels and for climate mitigation and sustainable development. In this process organic matter is decomposed under anerobic conditions by microorganisms to form biogas and a nutrient rich biofertiliser. READ MORE

22. Using an Artificial Ecosystem to Understand Living Ecosystems
Abstract : Community ecosystems at very different levels of biological organization often have similar properties. Coexistence of multiple species, cross-feeding, biodiversity and fluctuating population dynamics are just a few of the properties that arise in a range of ecological settings. READ MORE

23. Factors influencing the biogeography of bacteria in fresh waters - a metacommunity approach
Abstract : One of ecology’s primary goals is to comprehend biodiversity and its patterns of distribution over space and time. Since microorganisms play a pivotal role in key ecological processes, the diversity of microbial communities may have important implications for the stability and functioning of Earth’s ecosystems.

24. Productivity and carbon transfer in pelagic food webs in response to carbon, nutrients and light
Abstract : Some of the major problems we face today are human induced changes to the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) cycles. Predicted increases in rainfall and temperature due to climate change, may also increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) inflows to freshwater ecosystems in the boreal zone. READ MORE

25. Structural studies of enzymes regulating bacterial life style and cell wall biogenesis
Abstract : Bacteria can adapt to different biotic and abiotic environments by changing their life style, switching between sessile or motile, free-living or community-bound, virulent or dormant states. Each bacterium also faces the challenges of maintaining a protective barrier while growing, replicating and responding to environmental changes. READ MORE
