would like to welcome you to the IUMS Congresses 2011, which will be held in the beautiful city of Sapporo (in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan) from the 6 – 16 September 2011, and hosted by the Federation of Microbiological Societies of Japan. There will be three congresses: the XIII International Congress of Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology (6-10 September, 2011), the XIII International Congress of Mycology (6-10 September, 2011) and the XV Congress of Virology (11-16 September, 2011). There will also be outreach activities to the general public which will be held in order to publicise the importance of microbial science and technologies and their relationship to our everyday life. We expect them to provide a deeper understanding of our activities and increase the public's familiarity with them. IUMS Congresses are international conferences that bring together a wide range of experience and perspectives. Some microbes are a threat to humankind, but on the other hand many of them are essential for human life on Earth. Over many years we have accumulated a vast knowledge of microbes. Current research is showing us that microbes have 'unlimited capabilities' thus our congresses logo was set as "Unlimited World of Microbes". IUMS 2011 will be a magnifi cent opportunity not only to share ideas and experiences but also to establish and improve friendships among colleagues from all over the world. Finally, we welcome you all again to the exciting congresses and to the beautiful city of Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, and to the beautiful Fall season of the North island.

The supergroup is remarkably diverse both in its genetics and morphology and has historically remained difficult to study and classify. The accumulation of protein structure data in the past few years now provides an excellent opportunity to re-examine the classification and evolution of viruses. Here we scan completely sequenced viral proteomes from all genome types and identify protein folds involved in the formation of viral capsids and virion architectures. Viruses encoding similar capsid/coat related folds were pooled into lineages, after benchmarking against published literature. Remarkably, the in silico exercise reproduced all previously described members of known structure-based viral lineages, along with several proposals for new Edited by: additions, suggesting it could be a useful supplement to experimental approaches and Ricardo Flores, to aid qualitative assessment of viral diversity in metagenome samples.

Exploring the ecological relationships between viruses, hosts and the environment is a crucial rst step towards a deeper understanding of the complex and dynamic interplays among them. Results: Here, we obtained extensive 16S rRNA gene amplicon, metagenomics sequencing and geochemical datasets from different depths of two highly stratied sulphidic mine tailings cores with steep geochemical gradients especially pH, and explored how variations in viral community composition and functions were coupled to the co-existing prokaryotic assemblages and the varying environmental conditions. Our data showed that many viruses in the mine tailings represented novel genera, based on gene-sharing networks. Siphoviridae and Myoviridae dominated the classied viruses in the surface tailings and deeper layers, respectively.

He pioneered research on Archaea, the third domain of life, in the USSR and in 1986-1991 was a head of the department of Molecular Biology of Archaea at the Georgian Academy of Sciences, Tbilisi. In 1991-2004 he has worked in Germany, at Max- Planck Institute for Biochemistry and at Regensburg University. Since 2004 he is working at the Pasteur Institute of Paris. David Prangishvili received a prize of Council of Ministers of the USSR for Excellence in Science and Technology in 1989. David Prangishvili has been elected Member of the Academia Europaea (2018), Member of the European Academy of Microbiology (2015), Foreign Member of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences (2011), visiting professor of Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015). David Prangishvili has affected the field of prokaryotic virology by the discovery and description of many new species and families of DNA viruses which infect Archaea,[1][2] encompassing families Ampullaviridae, Bicaudaviridae, Clavaviridae, Globuloviridae, Guttaviridae, Spiraviridae (6) Tristroma viridae, and Portogloboviridae and the order Ligamenvirales (families Rudiviridae and Lipothrixviridae). He is an author of more than 180 publications in scientific journals and books:135 original papers, 49 book chapters and reviews, 1 book. Prangishvili’s studies have helped to reveal that DNA viruses of Archaea constitute a distinctive part of the viral world and that Archaea can be infected by viruses with a variety of unusual morphologies which have not been observed among viruses from the other two domains of life, Bacteria and Eukarya.

  • A Comprehensive and Quantitative Exploration of Thousands of Viral Genomes
    FEATURE ARTICLE RESEARCH A comprehensive and quantitative exploration of thousands of viral genomes Abstract The complete assembly of viral genomes from metagenomic datasets (short genomic sequences gathered from environmental samples) has proven to be challenging, so there are significant blind spots when we view viral genomes through the lens of metagenomics. One approach to overcoming this problem is to leverage the thousands of complete viral genomes that are publicly available. Here we describe our efforts to assemble a comprehensive resource that provides a quantitative snapshot of viral genomic trends – such as gene density, noncoding percentage, and abundances of functional gene categories – across thousands of viral genomes. We have also developed a coarse-grained method for visualizing viral genome organization for hundreds of genomes at once, and have explored the extent of the overlap between bacterial and bacteriophage gene pools. Existing viral classification systems were developed prior to the sequencing era, so we present our analysis in a way that allows us to assess the utility of the different classification systems for capturing genomic trends.
