On 13th March the first trip to isolate bacteria from the environment was carried out. We chose an area south of Heraklion with different ecological characteristics. In the Agia Irini gorge we collected samples from near a stream, beneath pine and plane trees, and in a cave. On the Juktas mountain we sampled from the exposed peak and from forested areas with oak and cypresses, as well as close to the vulture feeding area. We also picked soil and leave samples from an olive grove, and soil from next to a winery. In all we collected 15 samples that are now being processed.
