Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course deals with the molecular mechanisms of eukaryote-prokaryote
symbioses with emphasis on multicellular eukaryotic hosts.
We describe genes and molecular pathways involved in the establishment and
maintenance of several different symbioses. These range from binary
associations involving plants and invertebrates (e.g. legume/rhizobia and
squid/Vibrio) to multipartners' associations (e.g. vertebrate gut
microbiota). Processes shared by the different symbiotic systems - such as
horizontal gene transfer, apoptosis, quorum sensing and bacterial
secretion systems - are given special attention.
