Email: momirou@ari.moa.gov.cy
Research Interests
- The global release of industrial and agricultural chemicals has resulted in widespread environmental pollution. I am very interested to study the effects of these pollutants on the ecology and function of soil microbial communities using biochemical (PLFA) and molecular biology techniques. Additionally the implementation of analytical chemistry regarding the fate of these pollutants in the environment will also help us to understand their relation with microbial community.
- The isolation of microorganisms from the Cyprus environment and their implementation in favor of agriculture, industry and the environment. Mycorrhizal fungi, nitrogen free living bacteria, and phosphate solubilizing bacteria are important microbial groups that have been recognized as plant growth promoting microorganisms.
- Microbial formulation and bioreactors (biofilters).
