Welcome

Induction of microbial community responses and dissolved organic matter

transformations by UltraViolet radiations in marine ECOsytems

Project UVECO is financed by CNRS within the framework of program PROOF ("biogeochemical Processes in the Ocean and Flow") entering within the framework of the SOLAS project.

This project evaluates the effect of UVR on bacterial and phytoplanktonic communities and on photochemical transformations of dissolved organic matter with a special emphasis in the case of the Mediterranean Sea. Experimental work will be undertaken after coastal seawater collection in the Banyuls/mer Institute and at the Center of Oceanology of Marseille France.

Starting date : 2003

Responsible project:
-Dr. Richard Sempéré(LMGEM)
-Dr. Fabien Joux (LOBB)
