In particular, our project, corresponding to the grey biotechnologies, intends the following goals:
to reduce the pollution produced by antibiotics, medicines and pesticides scraps scattered in the rivers,
to use innovative and ecological techniques without high energy costs,
to improve our ecological conscience,
to use phyto-chemicals favorable in our territory's green landscaping,
to recycle plant waste from selected plants to produce organic compost to be reintroduced in the process as good practice of the circular economy corresponding to the green biotechnologies.
Also, we listed the goals for each experience, establishing a technical-scientific thinking:
■ Detection in waters of pollutants such as Diclofenac, Carbamazepine, Ciprofloxacin, Sulfamethoxazole, Glyphosate, Chlorpyrifos, by spectrophotometric qualitative analysis.
■ Analysis of the effectiveness of traditional purification techniques and phytodepuration.
■ Identification of bacteria that metabolise Diclofenac, Carbamazepine, Ciprofloxacin, Sulphamethoxazole, Glyphosate, Chlorpyrifos.
■ Preparation of a suitable breeding ground and sowing of bacteria.
■ Identification of bacterial colonies and creation of one or more bacterial group.
■ Experiment with the inoculation of bacterial groups in the rhizosphere of selected macrophytes.
■ Develop realistic growth environments.
■ Simulate operating conditions of a phytodepuration system.
■ Check the survival of inoculated bacteria.
■ Amplification of the 16S gene using universal primers 27F and 1492R for the identification and classification of bacteria.
■ Create a natural fertiliser from macrophytes and ash.
■ Use scraps, data from excess and damage, as an example of circular economy.
■ Determine the concentration of elements useful for plant nutrition such as N, P and K.
