Aim of the project:<\/p>\n

By the current project archaeal diversity in Bulgarian hot springs will be elucidate and new extremophilic archaea offering new biotechnological opportunities will be isolated. Archaea are latest described kingdom of life, information for which is scarce due to their difficult cultivation. The specific role of the project is limited to transfer of the experience of Norwegian scientists in cultivation and characterization of archaea, their mechanisms for high temperature adaptation, genomics and biotechnological potential.<\/p>\n

The expected result from the project implementation is the team of Bulgarian and Norwegian scientists to assist European researchers in their efforts to reveal the fundamental, environmental and biotechnological importance of Archaea and to contribute the development of new and promising research field in the beneficiary Bulgarian organization. The planned six months work of a young Bulgarian scientist at the Norwegian lab, who then pass on the knowledge to Bulgarian colleagues is consistent with the Program line for the increase of scientific exchange and increase the expertise and the importance of research of Bulgarian scientists. Identification of new archaeal enzymes and polysaccharides will contribute to the development of new materials and processes with genetic sources of microorganisms isolated from Bulgarian niches.<\/p>\n

The total period of the project is 16 months. The project was approved on 6.5.2015, it was funded on 03.09.2015, the ending date – 30.09.2016<\/span><\/p>\n

Expected results:<\/strong><\/p>\n

–\u00a0The project implementation will contribute the team of Bulgarian and Norwegian scientists to assist European researchers in their efforts to reveal the fundamental, environmental and biotechnological importance of Archaea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0– The project will\u00a0contribute the development of new and promising research field\u00a0<\/strong>at the Institute of Microbiology, Academy of Sciences, which will strengthen its leading role in the country in the area of investigation of extremophilic microorganisms.<\/span><\/p>\n

– The planned six months working visit of young Bulgarian scientist at the Norwegian laboratory is in agreement with EEA program priorities for enhancing scientific exchange, the expertise and the importance of research on Bulgarian scientists.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Identification of novel archaeal enzymes and polysaccharides will contribute to the development of biotechnology based on new materials and processes with genetic sources from microorganisms isolated from Bulgarian hot springs.<\/span><\/p>\n
