We are welcoming Yee Mon Oo our new PhD student on the Electrogas project, which will study how methanogens interact with cathodes.September 2nd 2015
You’ll find the answer in our recent paper published in Frontiers in Microbiology last month.
The Danish research council awarded 7 million DKK to investigate how methanogenic Archaea corrode iron and ultimately find ways to prevent corrosion. The project will be carried out at SDU.
On this project 3 positions are available (see more details here):
- 1 postdoc position which will investigate the molecular mechanisms used by methanogens to corrode metallic iron
- 1 PhD position to isolate highly corrosive strains from corroded oil/gas pipes and find what promotes corrosion
- 1 lab technician – which will be helping not only with the iron corrosion studies, but also with the microbial electrosynthesis project funded by a Novo Nordisk award.
