The University of Modena and Reggio Emilia is organising in collaboration with the LUC (Libera Università Crostolo) the exhibition of the travelling display “Extraordinary Microorganisms” created by the University of Turin. A collection of 44 panels made by 27 European research centres using sophisticated microscopy techniques, which allow the visualisation of very small organisms, not visible to the naked eye, and therefore never observed by the majority of the population. It is divided into six sections: viruses, bacteria and archaea, microalgae, yeasts, filamentous fungi and symbionts.
The exhibition in Reggio Emilia is part of the science dissemination activities aimed at citizens of the NRRP projects involving researchers from the Department of Life Sciences: SUS-MIRRI.IT Strengthening the MIRRI Italian Research Infrastructure for sustainable Bioscience and Bioeconomy.
