By the end of June, most of the ideas were eliminated but two of them remained: controlling the cancer or saving the trees.

Therefore, the whole team agreed on focusing on a local issue as the preservation of the Canal du Midi plane trees. However, the final goal was based on the idea to allow our optimized bacteria to be efficient for all fungi infections in the environment.</br>
