INTERNO IZVEŠTAVANJE O MERAMA ZA OPTIMIZACIJU PROCESA: KOMBINACIJA EKONOMSKIH I EKOLOŠKIH ASPEKATA

Optimizing the cost situation is part of everyday business in a company. The research field of controlling has developed many instruments and methods for calculating potential savings and communicating them to the decision-makers. In the future, in order for companies to operate more sustainably it is necessary to weigh up optimization measures from an economic and environmental point of view. This paper proposes to supplement controlling reports with a matrix opposing economic and environmental impacts by individual optimization measures. This reporting method should assist decision-makers in the selection of optimization measures, taking into account economic and environmental aspects. LCA and LCC based evaluation of a biotechnological process step for glycoside production served as a case study. An example for impact presentation of switching to a sustainable electricity mix is shown.Optimizacija troškova je deo svakodnevnog poslovanja kompanije. Razvijeni su brojni instrument ii metodi za izračunavanje potencijalnih ušteda i njihovo saopštavanje donosiocima odluka. U budućnosti, kako bi kompanije poslovale održivije, neophodno je da se mere optimizacije sagledavaju sa ekonomskog is a ekološkog stanovišta. Ovaj rad predlaže da se izveštaji dopunjavaju matricom koja ekonomske i ekološke uticaje stavlja nasuprot pojedinačnih mera optimizacije. Ovakav način izveštavanja bi trebalo da pomogne donosiocima odluka u odabiru mera optimizacije, uzimajući u obzir ekomonske i ekološke aspekte. Kao studija slučaja uzeta je procena LCA i LCC-bazirane evaluacije biotehnološkog procesa za proizvodnju glikozida. Pokazan je primer prezentacije uticaja prelaska na održivi električni miks

Verticillium Wilt in Oilseed Rape—the Microbiome is Crucial for Disease Outbreaks as Well as for Efficient Suppression

Microbiome management is a promising way to suppress verticillium wilt, a severe disease in Brassica caused by Verticillium longisporum. In order to improve current biocontrol strategies, we compared bacterial Verticillium antagonists in different assays using a hierarchical selection and evaluation scheme, and we integrated outcomes of our previous studies. The result was strongly dependent on the assessment method chosen (in vitro, in vivo, in situ), on the growth conditions of the plants and their genotype. The most promising biocontrol candidate identified was a Brassica endophyte Serratia plymuthica F20. Positive results were confirmed in field trials and by microscopically visualizing the three-way interaction. Applying antagonists in seed treatment contributes to an exceptionally low ecological footprint, supporting efficient economic and ecological solutions to controlling verticillium wilt. Indigenous microbiome, especially soil and seed microbiome, has been identified as key to understanding disease outbreaks and suppression. We suggest that verticillium wilt is a microbiome-driven disease caused by a reduction in microbial diversity within seeds and in the soil surrounding them. We strongly recommend integrating microbiome data in the development of new biocontrol and breeding strategies and combining both strategies with the aim of designing healthy microbiomes, thus making plants more resilient toward soil-borne pathogens
