Project description
Lowering pollution with better biosystems
Breaking down pollutants requires biosystems of combined bacteria, fungi and plants. The EU-funded BIOSYSMO project will develop a computationally assisted method to design such systems that takes advantage of natural microbial diversity. The project will screen samples from polluted sites and locations to identify natural microorganisms already present and able to metabolise target pollutants. This search will then be expanded to microorganisms previously identified by applying data mining tools to genomic and metagenomic data available in public repositories. Selected bacteria, fungi and plants will then be combined in enhanced synergetic biosystems. The constructed biosystems will be applied to soil, sediments and water using various approaches: phytoremediation, biopiles, bioelectrochemical reactors and bioaugmentation.
