Wow! New paper out after six rounds of revision! 🤪 We used metabolic flux balance to investigate the sustainable food waste management in anaerobic digesters and predict the organic load impact - kudos to the authors Esteban Orellana Laura Treu Department of Biology – University of Padova pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I dedicate this post to Mattia Albiero for the amazing results reported on the Padi4-dependent NETosis and the diet-induced gut hyperpermeability, #dysbiosis and #dysmetabolism - amazing study in collaboration with Department of Biology – University of Padova diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/artic… #Neutrophils #metabolism

🚨 New paper alert! Mengyuan Ji explored how #plasticizers impact the soil #virome — exposure to diethyl #phthalate triggers virus-host interactions. Fascinating insights into microbe-virus dynamics! Department of Biology – University of Padova Laura Treu sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🔬 Highlights from the April 2nd Living Labs at the Power Plant! Employees from Unit 5 (Ptolemaida V), the Water Treatment Department, and the Desulfurization Unit came together to explore innovation and shape a more sustainable energy future.

🚨 Just published! Synechocystis sp. B12 fixes over 99% of CO₂ from industrial biogas, transforming it into clean biomethane and biodegradable biopolymers. One process, two sustainable products. 🌱⚡🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.jcou… Anna Santin Laura Treu Tomas Morosinotto

On July 23, 2024, at BTS Srl, the University of Padua’s Department of Biology (DiBio) shared the latest LIFE CO2toCH4 project breakthroughs: how specific trace elements can boost biomethanation efficiency. Thanks to strong collaboration between research and industry!
