Metagenomics and bioinformatics as outcome for preparation of effective approaches, preparation and characterisation of microorganisms and their consorcia tailored for bioremediation purposes.
Project goals
The aim of the project is to apply methods of metagenomics for estimation of the genetical potential of microorganisms present in contaminated soil samples, with special respect to degradative pathways, perform bioinformatic analysis, prepare and test conditions and new consorcia and organisms better suited for bioremediation purposes than present ones.

Project results evaluation
The project met the expected goals and yielded a number of valuable results that were published and are also contained in the generated metagenomic databases. The software tools developed in this project greatly facilitate the analysis of the obtained metagenomic data. Application of obtained knowledge will facilitate optimalization of bioremediation procedures in contaminated soils.
