EMBO Workshop: 'The Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae Superphylum: Exceptions to the Bacterial Definition?'

Workshop - Heidelberg, Germany

The Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum is an assemblage of bacterial phyla which is consistently recovered as a monophyletic group with different data and phylogeny estimation methods. This EMBO workshop will be the first one to focus on the characterization and fundamental understanding of the PVC members. The Workshop will bring together researchers working on such bacteria and provide a broad coverage of those exceptional bacterial features and evolutionary scenarios.
