New work on pharmaceutical degradation in coastal sediments
See this nice work by Tetyana Gilevska, exploring how anoxic sediment microbiomes break down naproxen, a widely used painkiller, in coastal areas impacted by wastewater discharge. This study is a great example of how microbial communities at the land–sea interface can help mitigate the footprint of pharmaceutical pollution in...

PROMETHEUS kick-off meeting
🚀 On 27 May, we had the kick-off meeting for PROMETHEUS – the Microbial Electrochemical Methanation Initiative. 🔥 It was a good day! The entire consortium came together at SDU to present short overviews of the different work packages, discuss the plans ahead, and get advice from our advisory...
The team has grown
We welcome several new people to the team. We welcome two postdocs: 🇩🇪 🇳🇱 🇩🇰 Dr. Kerstin Fiege joins us from Germany. She holds a PhD from Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, where she worked on redox sensing in Methanosarcina, and completed postdoctoral work on membrane adaptations in Desulfovibrio–Methanococcus co-culture systems....
Welcome to the team
A warm welcome to Eva Maria Prem, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Innsbruck, who joins our team for a three-month research stay. We look forward to developing exciting new ideas and research plans together during this collaboration. Welcome Eva!...
