Topic of the Meeting

We are now in the last year of the PICODIV program dedicated to the analysis of marine picoplankton using molecular methods.  This meeting aims at summarizing the progress made in the first two years as well as to encourage collaboration with ouside teams.  This is the reason why we have invited several researchers not currently part of the PICODIV program but with very similar research interest.

This meeting takes place within the framework of the EU program PICODIV (http://www.sb-roscoff.fr/Phyto/PICODIV/index.html).
