Proposal of INRIA team MODEMIC Modelling and Optimisation of the Dynamics of Ecosystems with MICro-organisms
Abstract
MODEMIC is a joint INRA-INRIA team, which research activities focus on model-ling and simulating of natural or reconstituted microbial ecosystems, over several time and space scales, as well as various diversity levels. The main object ives of the project are : - a better understanding of microbial ecology, especially its functions (degradation, fermenta- tion, sequestration...), its biodiversity and its role in preserving the environment (quality of water resources, soil fertility...) - new decision-making tools for managing and improving bioprocesses (decontamination, green chemistry...)
