ISPP 2012 14th Internacional Symposium on Phototrophic Prokaryotes Abstract Book August 5 to 10 - Porto, Portugal Congress at Porto Palácio Congress Hotel & Spa WWW.IBMC.UP.PT/ISPP2012 ISPP 2012 | INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PHOTOTROPHIC PROKARYOTES Welcome address It’s our great pleasure to welcome all participants to the 14th International Symposium on Pho- totrophic Prokaryotes, in Porto. This symposium aims to cover the current knowledge and the most recent advances of research on phototrophic prokaryotes. The program will focus on the latest scien- tific achievements in the genetics and physiology of these organisms, also addressing their evolution, ecology, mechanisms of interaction with the environment, and biotechnological applications. In addi- tion, this meeting constitutes an opportunity for a valuable exchange of ideas between scientists with different backgrounds and strengths that can help provide future directions to research works. In addition to the social events planned, we hope that you are able to get to know and enjoy the beau- tiful city of Porto. This city is one of the most ancient European cities, classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. Internationally known for its famous Port Wine, the city has other interesting aspects such as landscapes and the historical centre. Besides its welcoming and conservative environment, Porto is also contemporary and artistic. This is shown not only in the streets, architecture, monuments and museums but also in the terraces, restaurants and shopping areas. The organizing committee is looking forward to a very successful meeting!
