The research activities of this Centre are focused on the study of cyanobacteria, algae and symbiotic soil microorganisms (bacteria and algae), which are used for bioindication and revitalization of toxic anthropogenic substrates and water resources. The targeted outcomes are methods for predicting cyanobacteria in drinking water and water resources, technology of biogas production from algal biomass and the use of algal biomass for the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology of microbial inoculations for more effective recultivation of brown-coal spoil banks. The research Centre is divided into three research groups each dealing with a portion of the research task: Group 1 – Cyanobacteria and their toxins in the waterworks industry; Group 2 – Use of algae for bioindication and revitalization of polluted water and biomass use; Group 3 – Use of microbial inoculations for soil revitalization.
