Environmental study in the Aetoliko area

DNA Sequence is pleased to announce the completion of an environmental study in the Aetoliko area, issued for the Region of Western Greece and the Directorate of Environment and Spatial Planning. The goal is to understand the phenomenon of rapid macroalgae growth that occurs seasonally in the area, and the possible negative impact of the wastewater treatment plant. The study focuses on the detection and role of microorganisms in marine water and wastewater, that are involved in this complex phenomenon. It is the first application of metagenomics for environmental reasons, at a national level by the private sector.
