Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...
