WP5: Cell to cell communication in community cultures, isolation and cultivation
Type of activity: RTD
WP5Lead partner: University College Cork (UCC)
WP5 Lead contact person: Fergal O’Gara
Contact details of coordinator: f.ogara@ucc.ie
Objectives:
Identify and investigate cell to cell communication and interaction pathways in natural marine microbial communities. This WP will also develop innovative protocols to use these communication systems (signalling molecules, genes) for improving isolation of the uncultured and improving cultivation efficiency of the cultivated micro-organisms.
Partners playing a role in this WP:
- Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA)
- Universite de Bretagne Occidentale (UBO)
- Aquapharm Biodiscovery (AQP)
- University College Cork (UCC)
- The University of Warwick (UW)
- Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU)
- Pharmamar (PHM)
