Modelling of genetically engineered microorganisms introduction in closed artificial microcosms

Stream microcosm for investigating GEM impact on the indigenous bacterial community in river water and sediment

“…The species that fails to survive need only be affected by one of these factors". So far, GEM survival in rivers has mainly been studied by inoculation with large cell numbers of the strain at the beginning of the experiments and following the die-off (19,(43)(44)(45). Here, we investigated an alternative scenarios, e.g.…”
