This event is one that focuses on basic and applied scientific research on viruses infecting microbes (algae, archaea, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses). Viruses have always been a key element of microbial diversity and evolution, as well as a tool for the molecular biologist to learn more about how the host cell functions, but this information has also been put to productive use in latter days to control infections and fouling in many areas of our modern life.
