Final Outputs of the MaCuMBA Project Available in its Legacy Brochure
The final key outcomes of the MaCuMBA project have been released in the project’s Legacy Brochure, available to download here.
In joining science and industry, MaCuMBA strove to bridge the gap from discovery to the market, to generate a more direct impact on research and development and to provide new products and services to the benefit of human society. The MaCuMBA Legacy Brochure covers the key outcomes of the project including the innovative approaches for isolating microorganisms, improvements of culture efficiency and the development of high throughput techniques and tools. Other highlights included innovative findings on cell-to-cell communication in community cultures, investigations into extreme habitats, advances in genetic and industrial screening and the dissemination and long-term preservation of the strains in culture collections.
MaCuMBA offered opportunities in terms of microbial systems and isolates, novel methods and technical platforms for seeking novel marine active compounds. Thanks to the particular methods, approaches, techniques, apparatus and tools that were developed by MaCuMBA, many more spectacular results are expected to emerge in the coming years.
