Bluetools Sampling Environments: Waste Environments As part of our BLUETOOLS series on sampling environments, we’re kicking off with "waste environments". BLUETOOLS is exploring areas like the Mar Menor Lagoon in Spain, Posidonia seagrass banquettes, and contaminated sites in the UK. These “waste environments” are home to resilient microbes that have adapted to harsh conditions like pollution, heavy metals, and nutrient overload. What is BLUETOOLS doing? ✔️ Studying how microbes deal with pollution ✔️ Finding enzymes that break down waste ✔️ Discovering natural compounds that could be used in cosmetics, medicine, or cleaning up the environment By studying these environments, BLUETOOLS is discovering new possibilities for science, industry, and sustainable innovation. #BlueBioeconomy #HEU #MarineBiology #Cleantech #Microbiome
