-At [http://est2e.com/ ESTEE], we (Alexandra Florin and Michka Mélo) work on a project aiming at feeding living [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_wall green walls] from urine to produce food. We will first aim at feeding hydroponics green walls with urine as a nutrients source. We will then identify which edible and/or useful plants are suitable to grow in such an environment.

 Our very first step will be to grow [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrifying_bacteria nitrifying bacteria] (or nitrifyers) to convert urine into nitrate. Such nitrifying bacteria are very important in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics aquaponics], where we grow fish and plants in the same system, the waste from the fish providing nutrients to plants for their growth. However, fish waste need (at least partly) processing by bacteria to be edible for plants. Such bacteria include nitrifyers, which will transform ammonium from fish waste into nitrate, edible by plants.

-Our first “Nitrification in Aquarium (NA)” experiments ([[Nitrification in Aquarium 1 (Report)|NA1]], [[Nitrification in Aquarium 2 (Report)|NA2]] & [[Nitrification in Aquarium 3 (Report)|NA3]]) will therefore be adaptations of the first “cycling” step of aquaponics. We will start from an aquarium, an air pump and drippers and some pond water. We will feed the system with urine everyday, as they do with ammonium in [http://aquaponie.net/demarrage-cycler-aquaponie/ this protocol].
