Bioassays for the ecotoxicological evaluation in aquatic environments (using bacteria, algae crustaceans, fishes and aquatic plants) and soils (earthworms, amoebae, terrestrial plants). Breeding of model species.

Study and optimization of biodegradative processes on contaminants and properly prepared complex mixtures (slops, bilge waters, waste waters) with microbial best performing species selection.Microbiological methodologies and ecotoxicological assessment on the main aquatic model organisms for the study of contaminated natural matrices.
