Abstract

This scientific initiation training is focused on the study of the development of microbial consortia aimed to make better use of the energy efficiency of the organic matter and resistance to water stress. These data are extremely important when related to the other data of the project, and the insertion of the student in this multidisciplinary scenario will open its field of activities.
