Welcome from the Local Organizing Committee
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 13th International Symposium on Anaerobic Microbiology, ISAM2025.
The conference will be held from 22 to 25 September 2025 in Leipzig, Germany.
The ISAM conference series has a long tradition and aims to bring together researchers from all areas of anaerobic microbiology. It is known for its relaxed and collaborative atmosphere that promotes lively scientific discussions and networking. PhD students and early career scientists are especially encouraged to submit abstracts for oral presentations.
We look forward to welcoming you in Leipzig.
ISAM2025 will cover the following main topics:
- Biogas microbiology
