organisation profile

BEEP is a Joint Research Unit of CNRS, Ifremer and UBO. Located in front of the Brest gully on the exceptional site of the Brest-Iroise Technopole, its resources are spread over two adjacent campuses: the Ifremer Center in Brest and the European University Institute for the Sea (UBO sea component). The premises belong to UBO and Ifremer. The other means, personnel and financing come from the three guardianship organizations.
BEEP is composerd of two laboratories:- Laboratory of Microbiology of Extreme Environments (LMEE)
- Deep Sea Laboratory (LEP)
The Ifremer component of UMR 6197 is attached to the Deep Ecosystems Studies Research Unit. The IUEM component of the UMR is attached to the IUEM).
BEEP has missions of research, teaching and valorization and conducts, on behalf of the three tutelles, research programs in microbiology of extreme environments, mainly oceanic. This work is based on the preparation and realization of oceanographic campaigns, in close partnership with biologists, chemists and geochemists of extreme environments: hydrothermal springs, cold seeps of continental margins, ocean floor. It is actively involved in work aimed at understanding how microorganisms in these environments contribute to the functioning of these original ecosystems and can ensure the integrity of their genetic material. We have unique skills and means in France for sampling, analysis and exploitation of microbiological samples. For sampling operations, our Research Unit has regular access, according to the standard procedure for selecting campaigns, to the national resources of the French oceanological fleet.
