Objective

  1. Identify freshwater and thermal cyanobacteria strains deposited in BACA using a
    modern taxonomic approach (Genomics, morphology and ecology);
  2. Identify those with bioactivity potential using a wide bioprospecting methodology;
  3. Elucidate and identify possible new compounds with biological activity following guided through bioactivity assays

Results e Impact 

Increase our taxonomic knowledge on cyanobacteria flora in Azores and biologically valorize autochthonous strains.
