MaCuMBA is a four-year EC FP7-funded project that aims to uncover the untold diversity of marine microbes using cultivation-dependent strategies.
In this issue of MaCuMBA Project News: an interview with Professor Lone Gram from the Technical University of Denmark, who is leader of MaCuMBA Work Package 7, Screening for industrial targets from cultured marine bacteria; meet MaCuMBA scientists Marion Navarri and Alberto Vallejo Ayuso in the Culture Club; updates from MaCuMBA project partners MicroDishBV and Ribocon; feedback from participants in the recent Metagenomics Course organised by Universidad Miguel Hernández; our series of Petri Dish Profiles of other European-funded projects related to the study of marine microorganisms continues with the BAMMBO (Sustainable production of biologically active molecules of marine based origin) project; and the Under the Microscope section rounds up stories about marine microorganisms that have been making the news.
Note to Editors
MaCuMBA is led by the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) and is a joint venture of 23 partner institutions from 11 EU countries with the common aim to uncover the untold diversity of marine microbes using cultivation-dependent strategies. MaCuMBA aims to improve the isolation rate and growth efficiency of marine microorganisms from conventional and extreme habitats by applying innovative methods and using automated high-throughput procedures. AquaTT is the communication and dissemination partner for the project.
