New FEMS Delegate: Davide Zannoni Society Name: Società Italiana di Microbiologia Generale e Biotecnologie Microbiche - Italian Society of General Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology Zannoni ‘s research interests Professor of Microbiology at the Dept. of Pharmacy & Biotechnology of the University of Bologna – Italy. Research’s fellow at the St. Louis Medical School, St. Louis MO, USA (1977-78). In 1981, 1983 and 1991, EMBO’s fellow at the St. Andrews University, Scotland U.K.; CNRS-CEA Saclay, France; University of Göttingen, Germany. Present scientific interests: microbial remediation of metals and metalloids in planktonic cells and biofilms, microbial production of metal nanoparticles, molecular mechanisms of bacterial movement and biofilm formation, alkane and naphthenic acid degradation by Rhodococcus spp. Author and/or co-author of more than 150 publications, and several text-books for students. From 2003 to 2006, prof. Zannoni served as President of the Italian Society of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology (SIMGBM), while from 2004 to 2010 he has been the Head of the Dept. of Biology of the University of Bologna and from 2015 to 2018, member of the Board of Directors of the University of Bologna – Bologna Italy.
