Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Date du début: 1 août 2012, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

Development of a wind-wave power open-sea platform equipped for hydrogen generation with support for multiple users of energy (H2OCEAN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,
The rational exploitation of oceans’ space and resources is increasingly seen as crucial to enhance European competitiveness in key areas such as Renewable Energy and Aquaculture. The H2OCEAN consortium aims at developing an innovative design for an economically and environmentally sustainable multi-use open-sea platform. The H2OCEAN platform will harvest wind and wave power, using part of the ene ...

Nanomaterials for harvesting sub-band-gap photons via upconversion to increase solar cell efficiencies (NanoSpec)
Date du début: 1 juin 2010, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,
...must be increased. With higher efficiencies more kWh can be produced from the same amount of silicon, which is the dominating cost factor at present. Fundamental loss mechanisms limit the maximum achievable efficiency: around 20% of the incident power is lost, because photons with energies below the band-gap are transmitted. Upconversion of two low energy photons into one usable photon reduces the ...

Structural Biology of Membrane Proteins (SBMPs)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 2012,
Membrane proteins (MPs) are known to be key molecules in cellular communications, from signal transduction to transport of ions, metabolites and other molecules. They also participate in the synthesis of ATP, the import of soluble or MPs from the cytosol, and they protect living organisms from toxic factors. The proposal consists in a joint training effort involving the major biophysical methods t ...

Serotonin and GABA-B receptors in anxiety : from developmental risk factors to treatment (DEVANX)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2012,
"GABAergic and serotoninergic systems are key players in the control of anxiety states but the precise bases for their action has remained elusive. New findings, brought about by members of this consortium, are radically changing our views on the neurobiological action of these two transmitters and will be the focus of the present proposal. The first original dimension is the discovery of a develo ...
