The African Genome Center (AGC), a research-focused entity, operates through four key research axes: Biodiversity Genomics, OMICS and Metabolic Engineering, Genome Editing, and Natural Product Chemistry and Metabolomics. Hosting an advanced genomics platform, it aims to serve as a central hub for genome biology research and training in Morocco and Africa.

The AGC Team is an international and multicultural scientific community. Its primary mission is to democratize genomics research on the African continent. This involves conducting both basic and applied scientific research in areas such as agriculture, conservation, environment, food security, and health. Additionally, the center is committed to contributing to technological transfers and training highly qualified personnel.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Characterize the diversity, functions and resilience of microbial communities associated with plant species used in ecological restoration.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES: The electrification of transportation requires the mining of critical metals. Our team has launched an interdisciplinary project aimed at mitigating the impact of these activities by investigating principles of plant acclimation to assist in the development of ecological restoration practices. The doctoral project will profit from a major experimental device deployed by our team in 2021, on the Whabouchi site operated by Nemaska Lithium. As part of this initiative, five plant species native to the region (shrubs and trees) were pre-acclimated to site conditions using 10 treatments. The project will include laboratory work (microbiology, genomics) as well as bioinformatics analyzes (U. de Sherbrooke) and entail fieldwork in the northern, remote region of Eeyou-Istchee (James Bay).

Goals :

(1) Characterize the bacterial and fungal communities of the rhizosphere of plant species (phylogenetic study), and the functions present in these microbial communities.

(2) Investigate correlations between microbial community structure and plant host success (survival and growth).

(3) Evaluate the contribution of plants to biogeochemical cycles through leaf loss (litter quality).
