Project: Microalgae VS Biofilm: Production of microalgal molecules to eliminate bacterial adhesion to ship surfaces
"The main aim of my research project is to exploit a natural, renewable source that respects both man and the environment. Two species of microalgae will be cultivated in a closed system while controlling the various growth parameters. The biochemical profile of each microalga will then be established, to extract interesting biomolecules (non-stick and non-toxic at the same time) in the end."
