EBEC2024 Late-breaking abstracts

Abstract

“Microorganisms and granula are at an equivalent level and represent elementary organisms, which are found wherever living forces are acting, thus we want to describe them by the common term bioblasts. In the bioblast, that morphological unit of living matter appears to be found” [1].

The endosymbiotic theories link the mitochondria and plastids to their free-living ancestors. Together, these are the bioblasts in spotlight of bioenergetics. Bioblasts and interactions with their hosts are the topics of Bioenergetics Communications.

The 22^nd EBEC (European Bioenergetics Conference, 2024-Aug-26 to 31), hosted in Innsbruck, Austria, presents 415 Abstracts [2,3], 33 of which are presented here as ‘late braking abstracts’. An innovative publishing format [4] is required to adapt to current trends of late submissions of abstracts (not peer reviewed) and nevertheless with secured priority of information by a collective DOI.
