The Nature Research Center received funding from the Lithuanian Science Council for the project “Biopesticides for agriculture: harmful blooms forming species against plant pathogens” (P-MIP-24-699). The project aims to investigate the potential of the natural biomass of cyanobacteria collected in blooming waters of Lithuania against various pathogens of agricultural crops and to produce valuable bioproducts from the excess toxic biomass of cyanobacteria. This is a continuation of the “AlgaeService for LIFE” project.
The biomass of Cladophora macroalgae was collected in the summer of 2024 in the Kaunas reservoir near the Pažaislis bathing area and in the river Nevėžis. A total of 1.5 tons of macroalgae biomass was collected and dried to be used for the production of valuable bioproducts.
Four researchers—Stina Krings, Franz Weinland, Tillmann Westphal, and Till Ider—from the University of Applied Sciences Lübeck (THL) visited the Nature Research Centre (NRC) from September 3 to 5, 2024. This visit provided a valuable opportunity for exchanging knowledge and experiences with the Laboratory of Algology and Microbial Ecology, especially regarding similar projects undertaken by the […]
The Nature Research Center and UAB Baltic UAV Services have patented the AS-LAND prototype for the collection of cyanobacteria biomass (Patent No. 7081, 12.08.2024).
