Stéphane PESCE at EcotoxicoMic 2024

Stéphane Pesce was invited to give a keynote at the Fourth international conference on microbial ecotoxicology #EcotoxicoMic2024. He presented a synthesis of the work he performed at INRAE's with the EMA team.

Microorganisms participate in all major biogeochemical cycles, and their diversity represents a keystone for ecosystem functioning and resilience. The adaptability of microorganisms is unequaled among living organisms. Nevertheless, similar to other groups of organisms, such as invertebrates and fish, microorganisms face increasing threats from multiple environmental stressors, particularly human-derived pollution. This session invites research on the impact of contaminants and other environmental stressors on the taxonomic and functional diversity of the microbial world, including microbial responses at the individual, population, and community levels. These investigations may involve the use of 'omics' and ‘metaomics’ tools, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Laboratory and field studies dealing with microbes from soil, freshwater, marine, and human-made environments are welcome.
