Analytical Chemistry for Identification of Bioactive Marine Molecules

Students will be trained through lectures, visits and one full-week lab on extraction, fractionation and chemical analysis of metabolites produced by marine fungi isolated from sponges.

The objective of this, is the characterisation of strains and molecules for a valorisation in the agronomic field as plant protection agents against certain pathologies or as bio-stimulants.

This work is carried out in close collaboration between the ICN lab (chemistry lab), INRA (agronomy lab) and the company NIXE.

 

Final Competencies

1  Analytical chemistry.

2  Identification, extraction, fractioning, chemical analysis of marine metabolite.
