Main research topics
Metagenomic analysis of the anaerobic digestion microbiome.
The research activity is focused on taxonomic and functional analysis of the microbial community involved in biogas production. The target is to gain a detailed functional understanding of the microbial composition and functional activity in response to the modification of environmental parameters like feedstock, temperature, chemicals, etc. to improve renewable energy production (READ MORE). In collaboration with Irini Angelidaki I. DTU Environment (University of Copenhagen).
Genome sequencing and gene expression analysis of environmental Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains.
This research topic is focused on the dissection of relevant phenotypic (alcoholic fermentation rate, SO2 resistance) using genomic approaces like RNA-seq and genome sequencing (READ MORE). In collaboration with the company Italiana Biotecnologie.
FSE project - Development of new enological starters to improve the peculiar characters of the Venetian wines (READ MORE).
Analysis of bacteria and archaea isolated from extreme environments (cold adaptation - READ MORE in collaboration with Cavicchioli R. of the UNSW University) (deep-sea adaptation - READ MORE in collaboration with Bartlett D. of the SCRIPPS Institution of oceanography).
