Functional diversity and environmental genomics of uncultured soil bacteria

Objective

Molecular techniques for environmental genomic analysis will be developed and applied to assess the novel genetic potential within uncultured bacterial populations. It will contribute to the development of cleaner technologies for treatment of waste material and for biodegradation of pollutants.
