Agnese Piacentini

Agnese will be in our lab for three months. During her visit, she will work with isolates from the Bagno dell'Acqua lake, situated in Pantelleria Island, that are capable of biomineralising carbonate minerals. Agnese will identify the genetic pathways involved in the precipitation process and trace gas oxidation.

This work is part of a collaboration with Prof. Cristina Mazzoni (University SAPIENZA of Rome, Italy) and Dr. Stefano Fazi (IRSA, CNR, Italy).
