FLPP Project Lzp-2022/1-0179 Final Seminar Held

The final seminar of the FLPP project Lzp-2022/1-0179, “Role of endophytic microbiota in the anti-viral activity of Sambucus nigra L. against type A influenza and SARS-CoV-2”, has taken place.

On 15 December 2025, a final seminar of Fundamental and Applied Research Projects (FLPP) was held at the University of Latvia’s House of Nature, during which the main scientific results of two projects funded by the Latvian Council of Science were presented.

The seminar provided an opportunity to become acquainted with current research in the fields of plant–microorganism interactions and cellular metabolism mechanisms, as well as to promote scientific discussion within the institute.
During the seminar, the final results of project Lzp-2022/1-0179, “Role of endophytic microbiota in the anti-viral activity of Sambucus nigra L. against type A influenza and SARS-CoV-2”, were presented.

The research results were introduced by:

  • Eva Endija Morozova, presenting a study on the antiviral activity of black elder extracts;

  • Anete Borodušķe, providing an overview of the relationship between the black elder microbiome, berry chemical composition, and the observed antiviral activity.

The seminar also included a presentation of the final report of the Latvian Council of Science project Lzp-2021/1-0522, “From Purine Starvation to a Stress-Resistant Phenotype – Uncovering the Mechanisms”. The project results were presented by Jānis Liepiņš.
