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.
