Prokaryotic Electron Transfer

The European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) is pleased to announce the 11th International Conference on Prokaryotic Electron Transfer, which will take place in the historic city of Évora, Portugal, from 10–13 March 2027.

Formerly known as Bacterial Electron Transfer Processes and their Regulation, this long-standing conference series brings together an international community of researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms, regulation, and physiological significance of electron transfer in prokaryotes.

The 2027 edition will showcase the latest advances in prokaryotic electron transfer, microbial respiration, bioenergetics, and redox biology, highlighting their importance in microbial physiology, ecology, biotechnology, and medicine. The scientific programme will feature internationally renowned keynote speakers, cutting-edge research, and stimulating discussions across disciplines.

The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers at all career stages to present their work, exchange ideas, establish new collaborations, and interact with leading scientists in the field through keynote lectures, oral communications, poster sessions, and networking activities.

Topics will include:

  • Bioenergetics and metabolism
  • Redox stress, antibiotics and adaptive responses
  • Microbial communities and host–pathogen interactions
  • Extracellular electron transfer and electromicrobiology
  • Synthetic biology and engineering of microbial electron transfer
  • Emerging tools and biotechnological applications

Following the success of previous editions, the conference will continue to foster scientific excellence while encouraging active participation from early-career researchers through oral and poster presentations, creating an inspiring environment for exchanging ideas and building future collaborations.

Join us in Évora in March 2027 for four days of outstanding science, lively discussions, and networking with the international prokaryotic electron transfer community. We look forward to welcoming you to Portugal.
