SINERGIA-Phyllosphere bacteria and air pollution
The fundamental aim of the SINERGIA project is to extend the capability of phyllospheric microorganisms for air cleanup. The current proposal is focused on the exploitation of phyllospheric microbiota for improving air quality, in particular in polluted productive sites. The key premise is that phyllospheric microbiota contain a rich and largely unexplored pool of enzymes able to promote an efficient degradation of airborne organic pollutants. This is an innovation- driven research proposal aimed to develop, support and produce a proof-of-concept prototype for bacteria-assisted phylloremediation of air contaminants. In contrast to the current available technologies, this breakthrough prototype has as proposal to offer an eco-friendly, solar-powered, sustainable and inexpensive solution for indoor/outdoor air pollution problems.
