The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Microbiology
Online | 1–15 December 2023
Volume Editor: Nico Jehmlich, UFZ-Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Germany
Cover Story: This volume compiles the complete presentations from the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Microbiology (ECM 2023), which took place from December 1st to December 15th, 2023. The allure of the microbial world lies in its extensive diversity, ranging from the minute organisms that shape our ecosystems to the intricate biochemical processes that they facilitate. Delving into their complex interactions and adaptive strategies unveils a concealed realm vital to life on Earth. The topics covered in this volume span from microbe–plant interactions to antimicrobial agents, foodborne pathogens, the gut microbiota, and health diseases. We aim for this volume to offer insight into the microbial world, fostering the development of novel concepts and ideas for our peers in the field of microbiology.
