RESEARCH FELLOW giuliasemenzato(AT)cnr.it publications: Orcid personal details and research activity: People Curriculum Vitae I graduated in Molecular and Applied Biology in 2021 and subsequently pursued a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology at the University of Florence. During my Ph.D., I investigated the role of bacterial endophytes in medicinal plant-microbes interactions, focusing particularly on the production of secondary metabolites with antibacterial activity. Specifically, I performed a phenotypic and molecular characterization of endophytic bacteria isolated from plants of the genus Origanum. My research activities included studying the structure and composition of…
