Project: BE-Basic I - DNA barcoding-based monitoring in soil

Definition of NORs (Normal Operating Ranges) for nematodes assemblages in agro-ecosystems. BE-Basic supports the development of clean, robust and competitive biobased chemicals, materials and energy industries, including responsible monitoring and control of healthy soil and water environments, on the basis of advanced genomics technologies and bioprocess engineering.
