Science Perspective
Amelia and Bo wrote a perspective for Science about methane oxidizing bacteria that are finally decoupled from their syntrophic partners. You can find the perspective here. The perspective is with reference to an article in Science by Scheller et al. In this article, the authors managed to decouple ANME-type 2 from...
New team member
On March 1st, Paola Andrea Palacios Jaramillo, will join our team. Paola will isolate methanogens which corrode iron, and will investigate how we can prevent corrosion induced by these organisms. Paola finished her masters in Microbiology last September, at Aix-Marseille University. We are all very excited to meet and work with Paola. ...
Oldenburg invited talk
Amelia: Wednesday the 27th January, I traveled to Oldenburg for an invited seminar entitled “A new DIET for methanogens”. It’s been dreamlike passing through Bremen, 13 years after I’ve started there as microbiologist. ...
Electric interactions meet thermodynamics
Amelia: I will be in New Castle on the 31st of March, where I will be giving an invited lecture about electric interspecies interactions for Master students at the School of Civil Engineering and Geoscience at New Castle University. Afterwards, I’m really enthusiastic to finally meet and converse about the thermodynamics...
Talking about current and microbes while in Sydney
Amelia: On 16th of March, I will be in sunny Sydney, Australia where I’ve been invited to talk about electric interspecies interactions with methanogens and how they could change the biotechnology of the future. My talk is part of the 5th Annual JAMS Symposium. Also, I will be visiting collaborators at the...
