Impact of polyaromatic hydrocarbons on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in plant protection and pollutant dissipation (REMEDIAM)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) originating mainly from anthropogenic activities, are frequently associated to polluted soils. These persistent organic pollutants are harmful for human health (carcinogenic and/or mutagenic) and can disrupt the ecosystem functioning. To clean-up the PAHs-polluted soils, phytoremediation assisted by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent an innovative approac ...

Banking Rhizosphere Micro-Organisms. European - Russian initiative to set up a network of rhizosphere microbiological resources centres (BRIO)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2014,

Soil microbes play key roles in ecosystems and influence ecosystem processes, including nutrient acquisition, nitrogen cycling, carbon cycling, and soil formation. Soil microbes are the majority in soil and a large portion of the genetic diversity on Earth. Many microbes live in association with plant roots and can promote plant productivity and provide protection against stress and disease. Other ...

European Consortium for Microbial Resource Centres (EMbaRC)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

EMbaRC will establish a self-sustainable community of European Microbial Resource Centres representing a large bio-diversity and offering a wide-range of not only bio-resources but also expert services. These services will enable the development of new partnerships with public institutes in the field of biodiversity and will facilitate revenue-generating partnerships with the economic sector (larg ...
