Influence of antibiotics on Arcobacter-like cells and their biofilm formation

(Corresponding) Šilha D., Švarcova K., Hofmeisterová L.
Topic: 
Antibiotic resistanse
Arcobacters belong to Gram-negative bacteria, the rod cells can be slightly curved into the shape or spiral. Their growth is typical in a microaerophilic environment, but some species are able to grow under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The purpose of this study was to test the in vitro effect...Read more

(Corresponding) Carletti A., Paulotto A., Khadra R., Martin I., Fahd K., Salas J., Arbasi T., Pedron G., Jaouadi T., Chaabouni T., Mazahrih N.
Topic: 
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
The Mediterranean region is considered as one of the world’s most water-stressed areas where some countries have less than 1000 m3 capita-1 year-1. This situation, exacerbated by climate change, is due to, but not restricted to, the relatively uneven distribution of precipitation, high temperatures...Read more

Development and demonstration of an eco-innovative system for sustainable treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater in small and medium size communities in the Mediterranean region

(Corresponding) Plakas K., Karabelas A., Takavakoglou V., Chatzis V., Oller-Alberola I., Polo-López I., Al-Naboulsi T., El Moll A., Kallali H., Mensi K., M'Hiri F., Simon Andreu P.
Topic: 
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
Treated municipal wastewater is considered a valuable non-conventional water resource. However, a substantial number of wastewater treatment plants installed in the Mediterranean region have proven to be unsuccessful copies of systems operating in technolo-gically advanced countries. In addition to...Read more

Exploring the Living Lab approach for developing sustainable wastewater treatment and reuse systems in Mediterranean agriculture

(Corresponding) Khadra R., Dragonetti G., Paulotto A., Martin I., Arbasi T., Jaouadi T., Mazahreh N., Balawneh A., Carletti A.
Topic: 
Sustainable water management in the mediterranean – technological solutions, demonstration and deployment
In the water-poor Mediterranean region, people have always had to cope with scarcity, developing adaptation strategies to meet their essential needs. However, the adaptation capacities in place are put to the test by climate change, unsustainable water use and wastage, contributing to the depletion...Read more
