Degradation of Organic Compounds

General Objectives

Contributing to the fight against environmental pollution using biological tools. The compounds are fighting to aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) and pesticides such as lindane. The experimental approach includes molecular and biochemical analysis of genetic and catabolic pathways, with particular emphasis on the interaction DNA / regulator, reactor experiments and in soil rizorremediación call. The group has also focused on the study of interactions between plants and microorganisms in the rhizosphere in order to exploit the systems of gene expression in bacteria for the development of biocontrol, biodegradation and biological containment of recombinant micro-organisms.

Pseudomonas Reference Culture Collection


The EEZ possesses one of the most important and valuable collections in the area of general biodegradation, and in particular of bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas. The EEZ has created a web site for the Pseudomonas culture collection artemisa.eez.csic.es/prcc/through which the international scientific community can request any strain from the collection. The person in charge of this service is Dr. Estrella Duque. To date, the invested funds have been obtained through “Special Grants” (Acciones Especiales) from the Ministry of Science and Education or from the CSIC. The service has been supplying strains to all who have requested them, both nationally and internationally, free of charge. However, from May 1st 2005, strains will be charged a fee of 100 €. We are also beginning to operate different equipments to give external service. This includes the generation of organized mutant banks and selective systems for the isolation of mutant clones.
