Marine microbiology and microbial ecology focus on improving knowledge about marine microbiome

The activity involves a study of the microbiome in tissues of farmed and wild fish with the aim of determining productivity, quality, safety, and sustainability. It also aims to understand the transmission pathways and fate of antibiotic residues, antibiotic resistance genes, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and other pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture, including possible contamination from the environment Microbiological methods will be employed, including traditional culture-based technicniques (cultivation and microscopic observation) and advanced methods such as: metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, bioinformatics.
