Indo-Italian Workshop on Bacteria and Fungi for Environmental Sustainability Organised by Amity University | Embassy of Italy, New Delhi

INDO–ITALIAN WORKSHOP ON BACTERIA AND FUNGI FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY

Conference Date: 29–30 November and 1 December 2010

Organized by
Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University together with Embassy of Italy, New Delhi

Human impact leading to ecosystem destruction necessitates the development of restoration strategies. Looking at the great number of various parameters determining a plant community, the inclusion of soil microorganisms in restoration practices is indispensable. Future research on symbiosis is desperately needed for enlightening the AMF biology and PGPRs and elucidating the precise relationship between plant species and their soil environment for successful re-establishment in a new environment or in a destroyed/fragile ecosystem under restoration.
This three day workshop will not only provide the forum to discuss the biology of microorganisms and its role in the ecological sustenance but will also help in determining an effective strategy for restoration of destroyed/fragile ecosystem and re-establishment of plant species, thereby minimizing the global warming impact. The workshop will host the leading scientists and their view for the use of microbes in restoration of ecosystem. The following major themes shall be covered:
• Mutualistic Networks and Ecosystem Functions
• Mutualistic Interactions, Ecology and Global Change
• Inter-kingdom Interactions
• Cellular and Molecular Aspects of Mycorrhizal Fungi
• New Methods in Symbiosis Research
• Microbial Dynamics, Communication and Quorum Sensing
• Bio-detoxification of Degraded Soils
• Interaction of Nanoparticles with Microbes
• Science and Technology for Tribal Welfare

We are exploring the possibility to organize Indo-Italian Trade Exhibition on the Amity Campus in the
sector of: Agriculture, Horticulture, Beverage Industry Products and Processed Food Industry.
