La promoció i l’educació per a la salut esdevé un element central a l’àmbit educatiu actual i, per tant, requereix un tractament transversal a totes les etapes educatives i un compromís de tots els components de la comunitat educativa, de l’entorn escolar, de l’Administració educativa i sanitària i del conjunt de la societat. El Programa Centres Educatius Promotors de la Salut (CEPS) ha impulsat, des de 2014, el treball en promoció de la salut, els projectes de salut i les comissions de salut en centres educatius de les Illes Balears, i ha facilitat la formació permanent del professorat per a l’adquisició de coneixements i actituds en promoció i educació per a la salut en matèria educativa i la transferència a l’aula i al centre., La promoción y la educación para la salud se convierte en un elemento central en el ámbito educativo actual y, por tanto, requiere un tratamiento transversal en todas las etapas educativas y un compromiso de todos los componentes de la comunidad educativa, del entorno escolar, de la Administración educativa y sanitaria y del conjunto de la sociedad.

This work examines the role of mycelia in enhancing the degradation by attached bacteria of organic pollutants that have poor bioavailability. Two oomycetes, Pythium oligandrum and Pythium aphanidermatum, were selected as producers of mycelial networks, while Mycobacterium gilvum VM552 served as a model polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading bacterium. The experiments consisted of bacterial cultures exposed to a nondisturbed nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) layer containing a heavy fuel spiked with 14C-labeled phenanthrene that were incubated in the presence or absence of the mycelia of the oomycetes in both shaking and static conditions. At the end of the incubation, the changes in the total alkane and PAH contents in the NAPL residue were quantified. The results revealed that with shaking and the absence of mycelia, the strain VM552 grew by utilizing the bulk of alkanes and PAHs in the fuel; however, biofilm formation was incipient and phenanthrene was mineralized following zero-order kinetics, due to bioavailability limitations. The addition of mycelia favored biofilm formation and dramatically enhanced the mineralization of phenanthrene, up to 30 times greater than the rate without mycelia, possibly by providing a physical support to bacterial colonization and by supplying nutrients at the NAPL/water interface. The results in the static condition were very different because the bacterial strain alone degraded phenanthrene with sigmoidal kinetics but could not degrade alkanes or the bulk of PAHs. We suggest that bacteria/oomycete interactions should be considered not only in the design of new inoculants in bioremediation but also in biodegradation assessments of chemicals present in natural environments
