## Description

* * *

Microbial conservation is a relatively new discipline in both basic research and applied science, one that is being significantly shaped by researchers at the University of Marburg, among others. Active conservation efforts require public support in order to be socially accepted and successfully implemented. Unfortunately, microorganisms are still primarily viewed as pathogens that, apart from this characteristic, go unnoticed in everyday life. An interactive trail in the University of Marburg Botanical Garden is designed to help visitors experience microorganisms firsthand and learn about their essential role in natural ecosystems and in relation to human health. Furthermore, the trail will highlight current research in microbiology and microbial ecology at the University of Marburg; for example, the DFG Cluster of Excellence “Microbes for Climate” (M4C) will be featured.

## Programme
