Research activities

* Exploitation of microbial physiology data to improve or develop new processes destined for bio-industries.
* Selection and culture of microbial strains in natural and/or non-conventional conditions. Evaluation, optimization and possible exploitation of their metabolic capacities.
* Development and optimisation of bioprocesses for the treatment of contaminated air, soil and water

Skills

* microbial strain selection (bacterias, fungi, yeasts)
* microbial fermentations, at laboratory or pilot scale, in aerobiosis, anaerobiosis, or anoxic conditions
* quantification of microbial activities
* photochemical degradation
