Italian term or phrase: ceppi
"Identificazione, caratterizzazione e sviluppo tecnologico di nuove fonti rinnovabili (scarti dai processi di lavorazione della carta, della frutta, dello zucchero, del latte, delle colture forestali e spontanee) ... le problematiche che potrebbero insorgere in questa attività sono riconducibili alla disponibilità di composti organici che per qualità e quantità siano suscettibili di essere convertiti da parte di ***ceppi*** microbici selezionati di composti di riserva di tipo poliestereo. Un altro elemento di criticità potrebbe essere rappresentato da un livello di contaminazione microbiologica da ***ceppi*** non produttori di PHAs negli scarti selezionati tale da contrastare la crescita di microrganismi specificatamente selezionati per la produzione di poliesteri".

Explanation:
Hi, Pauley!

Not my specialization (hence the medium conf. level), but I believe the word you are looking for is strain(s).

... microbial strains ...
... non-PHA(polyhydroxyalkanoate)-producing strains...
