Degradation resistance and effects of the transgenic potatoes on the physicochemical parameters and the microbial population of soils
Project
Project code: 0315214B
Contract period: 01.08.2008
- 31.07.2011
Budget: 194,425 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
This project aims to investigate whether the cultivation of genetically modified potatoes that produce cyanophycin in their tubers alters the chemical characteristics of the soil and the composition of the micro-organism communities in the soil. Cyanophycin is a biopolymer that is used for various industrial applications.
