Objectif
The aim of this unique project is to establish whether metabolites produced by fungal biological control agents (Bias ) enter the food chain and if they pose a risk to human and animal health. this will be achieved through:
(1) development of tools (e.g. biosensors) and methods (e.g. high throughput assays like ELISA, Vito ox) for rapid and accurate detection of fungal metabolites,
(2) biochemical and molecular studies to elucidate their mode of action,
(3) molecular markers to monitor fungal Bias in the environment and
(4) studies to determine if metabolites enter the food chain and, if so, identify the route of entry and type and quantities present, this multidisciplinary project will assure food safety by anticipating risks, tracing the sources of contaminants, if any, in the food chain and quantifying risk factors (key actions 1 and 3).
