SYMBIOREM Project -
SYMbiotic, circular BIOREMediation systems and biotechnology solutions for improved environmental, economic, and social sustainability in pollution control (2024-2028)
The presence of pollution in water, sediments and soil poses multiple risks to human, animal, and ecosystem health, contributing to diseases and biodiversity loss. SYMBIOREM project aims to use the bioremediation capabilities of microorganisms and plants to remove pollution from the environment, by integrating in its diversified approach different bioremediation techniques, such as bioaugmentation, biostimulation, and phytoremediation, with a focus on the most common pollutants of soil and groundwater in Europe, on mixed contamination, eutrophication, organic micropollutants, and microplastics, Through its case studies in Europe and the US, SYMBIOREM concretely demonstrates the advantages of bioremediation over physical and chemical methods of remediation, both in environmental and in economic terms.
BIOSYSMO Project -
BIOremediation systems exploiting SYnergieS for improved removal of Mixed pOllutants (2022-2026)
BIOSYSMO is a 48-month project aimed at developing a computational framework to design and optimize biosystems for efficient pollutant degradation. These biosystems will use combinations of bacteria, fungi, and plants, identified through computational analysis, to degrade pollutants. The project will leverage natural microbial diversity by screening polluted sites and using data mining tools to find effective microorganisms. The construction of these biosystems will involve enhancing plant-microbe interactions, engineering bacteria and plants, creating artificial consortia, and applying bioelectrochemical systems. The optimized biosystems will be used in various bioremediation approaches for treating pollutant mixtures in soil, sediments, and water.
