Development of accredited methodologies for water quality assessment by molecular-genetic methods

This project aims to create accredited methodologies for assessing microbial water quality through molecular-genetic analyses and for assessing microbial biofilm in water management structures using nanofiber biomass carriers and standard microbiological and molecular-genetic analyses. The microbial analysis will be carried out for drinking, pool and warm water and will mainly focus on indicator microorganisms specific to the water in question. A nanofiber carrier based on a harmless polymer will be developed as part of the project. The carrier will be designed for monitoring the biofilm growth in selected water systems. A complete analysis of the microbial consortium composition will be performed in selected water and biofilm samples.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic
