UniLaSalle Rouen is participating in the Pint of Science Festival in Rouen from May 19 to 21, 2025. See you on Tuesday, May 20 at the Bar des Fleurs!
Created in 2013 in the United Kingdom, the Pint of Science Festival is an international event that allows scientists to share their research with the general public in a friendly atmosphere... over a beer, in bars!
The soil microbiome: an asset for agriculture
With Wassila Riah-Anglet, research fellow at UniLaSalle, AGHYLE research unit (UP 2018.C101)
Soil is a precious resource that nourishes plants and is home to immense microbial diversity. This microbiome plays a vital role (nutrient recycling, soil structuring, crop protection). Intelligent management of this microbiome increases soil fertility and resilience to climate change. The soil microbiome is a key player in the transition to sustainable agriculture. New agricultural practices must integrate microbial balance management to improve soil, plant, and environmental health.
She will be accompanied by Thierry Jouenne, Director of Research at the PBS Laboratory (UMR 6270 CNRS).
Biofilms and microbiology in the 21st century
Bacterial biofilms, defined as consortia of microorganisms located at an interface, are omnipresent in our environment. Although sometimes useful (in which case they are referred to as positive biofilms or microbiota), these microbial structures are unfortunately also often involved in numerous clinical infections as well as many health, environmental, and industrial disorders. During this evening, we will discuss the main areas in which biofilms pose problems, as well as the main strategies for combating these structures.
