Pictures from lab experiments

  • Ps. aeruginosa growth inhibition by a cave microbial isolate

    We test the capacity of microbial isolates from caves to produce antimicrobials against human pathogens

  • Eva is loading the MinION sequencer to sequence a Rhodococcus qingshengii strain with interesting biodegradation activities

    We are sequencing the entire genome of a bacterial strain that has capacity to biodegrade toxic contaminants

  • Isolates from biodeteriorations on ancient books that are stored in the UNIBO library archive

    We characterized the biodeteriorations/ patinas present on ancient books stored in the archive of the UNIBO library. The final aim is to provide information on the microbiological contamination to develop a strategy to recover/restore the books

  • Sequencing run in Min1KC

    Metagenomic analysis of the microbial communities present in Monte Kronio cave...a lot of green squares demonstrating that a lot of sequencing pores are active and will give us good results! Looking forward to data analysis!

  • Culturable microorganisms from functionalized marble tiles exposed in Versailles

    Culturable microorganisms that grew on an agar plate spread with a swab to detect bacterial presence/contamination on marble tiles functionalized with hydroxyapatite that were exposed in Versailles

  • Marble tiles from Versailles...looking forward for the analysis of the microbial colonization on them!

  • Checking for PCR amplification products from microbial isolates from caves

    Electrophoresis gel loading of the PCR amplification products of the 16S rRNA gene from microbial strains isolated from the quartzite cave system on venezuelan tepuis.

  • Bacterial interaction with metals

    Test analysing metal transformation by bacterial strains of Rhodococcus genus

  • Sampling from soil columns to determine effect of climate change on soil microbiota - collab. Dr Balugani DIFA UNIBO

  • Columns with soil that mimic soil conditions under climate change conditions - collab. with Dr E. Balugani DIFA UNIBO
  • Analysis of the compatibility between two bacterial strains under biofilm conditions
