Bacterial Adaptation in Oiled Mud

Within the framework of its knowledge-enhancement activities on oil persistence in sediment, Cedre, France, has joined the ANR DECAPAGE project for a four-year period. This project, which follows on from the ANR DHYVA project conducted from 2006 to 2010 with the same partners, aims to study the adaptation of bacterial communities present in mudflats when exposed to oil pollution.
An original experimental system has been set up in Cedre's trial hall to recreate a tidal mudflat for several months. The installation of this equipment was also the opportunity to host a three-day visit from all the project partners as well as an ANR representative.
Pau University is taking care of the coordination.
