Innovative approaches to understand complex microbial communities for eco-engineering the degradation of herbicides in stressed agricultural soils

Objective

We will generate a knowledge base for the rational eco-engineering of sites polluted with recalcitrant herbicides atrazine, 2,4-D and analogues. To understand the roles of complex microbial communities for degradation processes, and adaptabilities of communities to stress conditions we will develop, based on detailed metabolic information, molecular biology tools, to study community functions, interactions and adaptations. DNA arrays for phylogenetic, catabolic and stress studies will be designed and optimised. Information recruited in model systems will be used in systems of increasing complexity, aiming at the rational manipulation and optimisation of degradative activities, including the contribution of rhizosphere microbial communities

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
