Using bacteria and fungi to develop more sustainable biotechnologies?
Saskia Bindschedler, Assistant Professor, Mycology Laboratory, University of Neuchâtel.
Microbial interactions are essential to the functioning of ecosystems. With this in mind, research carried out at the University of Neuchâtel's Microbiology Laboratory aims to gain a better understanding of these interactions, with a view to developing more sustainable approaches to certain environmental problems. At this conference, two examples of how interactions between bacteria and fungi can be used for biotechnological applications will be presented. The first in an agricultural context, with the development of a formulation active against fungal pathogens of vegetable species, and the second in a context of recycling recoverable waste, which is interested in taking advantage of bacterial and fungal biogeochemical capacities towards metals.
Please note: this conference takes place at the Museum of Natural History in Neuchâtel.
