Scope of the conference
The overall aim of the conference is to promote understanding of the complex microbial ecosystems that are present in the digestive tract of man and animals, and their interactions with the host.

Topics to be addressed will include:
 |
Microbial diversity in health and disease |
|
Response of the gut microbiota to dietary change |
|
Microbial metabolism of dietary components |
|
Mechanisms of action of pro- and prebiotics |
