Abstract:

The EnviroAMR project rose awareness on the fact that antibiotics and antimicrobial resistant microorganisms are considered novel classes of pollutants in the environment with major consequences on the health of humans, animals and plants. The EnviroAMR project has proposed a methodological guide for a standardized monitorization of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance in the environment through a chemical and biological (phenotypic, genotypic, metagenomic) approach together with techniques of antibiotics/antibiotic resistance mitigation in wastewaters.

Abstract:

The seasoning plants (spices) are ingredients that, added to food and drinks give the flavor, taste and color, without having nutritional value. Due to their uses in medicine and cosmetics, it is important to know their composition and how it is affected by external factors (electromagnetic radiation, drought, and other types of stress). Among these plants, we selected three for our study: Anethum graveolens, Petroselinum crispum and Apium graveolens, rich in volatile oils and antioxidants (especially vitamin C).
The general objective of the project is the effects determination of microwave fields on volatile oils, vitamin C and secondary metabolites of some indigene plants. Within this objective will consider the following specific objectives: 1. Preparation of system for microwave irradiation of the plants considered for the study; 2. Selection of extraction methods for bioactive compounds analyzed from the seasoning plants considered for the study; 3. Monitoring changes of vitamin C amount from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 4. Monitoring of the essential oils composition changes, from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 5. Tracking BVOC variation in microwave stressed plants with different frequencies and powers; 6. Monitoring changes occurred in BVOC from the irradiated plants compared to the reference plants; 7. Concluding of the chemical and structural changes from irradiated plants.

Abstract:

This project intends to provide a financial background for developing the community of Surface Science in Romania. Thematics from physics and chemistry of surfaces will be tackled together with applications of surface science in biology and in technology; also new standards will be proposed for consistent data interpretation. The Project clusterizes the most important Romanian teams with preoccupations in surface science, namely all X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy teams with most of the community of thin film deposition, cluster and nanoparticle physics, surface reactivity, surface chemistry and photochemistry, multilayer physics and applications, magnetic fluids, functionalization of surfaces, cell attachment, studies of cellular membrane. The research teams belong to highly prominent Universities and Research Institutes from practically all geographical areas of the country. The Consortium disposes of infrastructure exceeding 10 million euros, of more than one hundreed highly qualified scientists which have generated during the past years more than 3 % of the national scientific visibility. The research will concentrate into four main areas: (i) magnetic properties of surfaces and low-dimensional systems; (ii) electrical properties of surfaces and heterostructures; (iii) surface chemistry; (iv) application of surface science in functionalized systems and in biology, together with (v) an area concentrating on standardization in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and related techniques. Each area is divided into several thematics; each thematic has at least one in-charge scientist. This Project will foster the surface science community in Romania and will contribute strongly to the development of high-technological industrial preoccupation in all geographical areas concerned. Several cutting-edge applications are also foreseen by pursuing the fundamental research proposed.
