Aspergillus sydowii - the boundaries of habitats

Aspergillus sydowii is an interesting case of a species that, triggered by a change of habitat, simultaneously assumes a different biological function/biological niche. In the terrestrial environment, Aspergillus sydowii is considered a saprophyte, i.e. a decomposer of complex organic substances. In the marine habitat, however, the species becomes a parasite of corals of the genus Gorgonia. The spores of Aspergillus sydowii are probably introduced from the terrestrial environment via soil erosion and reach the sea, where they can infect the algae.

Chemicals - Quality assurance and risk assessment through precise analysis

Our analysis enables safe and responsible handling of chemicals.

Industrial agriculture plays a fundamental role in our food supply. However, it also has a major impact on our ecosystems due to the frequent use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. We support manufacturers with our sampling and analytical services, which are used for the approval process of these products. This helps ensure that healthy agricultural goods can be produced with the least negative impact possible on humans, animals, and nature.
