The Trojan Horse - A new biotechnology for pesticide removal at drinking water sand filters

The vision of The Trojan Horse project is to create a comprehensive biotechnological solution to pesticide contamination of drinking water, exploring the metabolic capability of natural microbial communities existing in RSF's (Rapid Sand Filters), ensuring a stable supply of safe drinking water for future generations.

The Trojan Horse

Section of Microbiology will mainly contribute with extensive knowledge and expertise on molecular microbiology - more specifically MGE's and the Molecular work in  characterization of the entire mobile genetic pool in chosen RSF's and isolated MGE(P)'s by cutting-edge Next generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis and bioinformatics.
