Starting up our new biogas babies. Plug flow digestion of food waste is a hot topic in Sweden right now and we will run some lab test to evaluate novel operational management strategies in collaboration with partners in BiogasSolutionsResearchCenter. Updates will come.....

Can acetogens be used for surveillance of biogas plants? If you are curious check out our recent papers. We are also exploring this topic further so more will come…. Thanks for collaboration Gasum Suomi Tekniska verken, rdcu.be/ct8k2, links.email.frontiersin.org/ls/click?upn=D…

Feeding fish with yeast cells grown on hydrolysate from AD of food waste Formas, ett forskningsråd för hållbar utveckling.#Waste2Fish (slu.se/en/departments…). Fascinating how microbes can be put to work and assist in our strive to reach a more sustainable society. So fun and interesting to be a microbiologist!

Planing the train trip to Braga and ICBM-4 Biogas Microbiology in May 2022. Its a long way…. and where are the track in Portugal? But we will do it! 🚊🚆🚂

Energimyndigheten gav oss en tidig julklapp! De har beviljat vår ansökan om ett nytt kompetenscentrum inom biogasområdet som bygger vidare på det tidigare Biogas Research Center. Mer information finns i tråden👇

Today He Sun successfully defended his thesis “Antibiotic resistance in biogas processes” pub.epsilon.slu.se/26327/. Congrats you did great! 👏🎉🥂 Thanks to the opponent Prof Kornelia Smalla and the evaluation committee for the nice discussions. Now time to celebrate!

Curious about propionate oxidisers in methanogenic systems? Check this new nice review academic.oup.com/femsre/advance… Great summary by Maria Westerholm, Magda Calusinska and Jan Dolfing

Plant material also contribute with antibiotic resistance in biogas plants! Risk or not? We think NO -the biogas system is not increasing the problem, might even decrease it! Thanks to German colleagues! doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

The trip to Braga and the ICBM 4 skyros-congressos.pt/icbm/ have started 😊 Uppsala to Stockholm ✔️ Now waits another three days exploration of the European train system. Updates will come!

We did it and it was even more smooth than expected! Working trip by train can be recommended - a very good team building event! Now we are looking forward to skyros-congressos.pt/icbm/

Today we and SLU colleagues together with representatives from authorities, branch organisations and companies, had the opportunity to talk to farmers about the greatness of the biogas system. The interest in Sweden is increasing, for both biogas and bio-fertiliser. Fun day!

Finally holiday! We clearly earned some days off! Last months we published several papers; Acetobase2 doi.org/10.1093/databa…; Methanation of syngas doi.org/10.1007/s00253…; Serial AD of food waste doi.org/10.1016/j.biom… Thanks BiogasSolutionsResearchCenter RISE and Tekniska verken

The Nordic biogas model refers to waste-based #biogas systems producing transport fuel and biofertilizer generating many positive societal effects. Our article also include critical aspects of system assessment and aspects of supporting policy. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Yesterday we meet a enthusiastic group of student from 5th grade. We talked about the greatness of biogas and about the importance of sorting out organic waste. We in turn got many tricky question from them😅 It was fun to see their engagement and interests for the climate!

We are expanding the team and are looking for two new PhD candidates slu.se/en/about-slu/w…. The positions are linked to the biogas competence center BiogasSolutionsResearchCenter, a unique platform for collaboration between academia, industry and society. Are you our new colleague?

Winter finally arrived in Uppsala, and also a new member in the AMB team ☃️

We look for a postdoc with experience and interest for anaerobic cultivation #MicPhys_MIB Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR Announcement will be out soon, but if you have interest please reach out.

Advanced team building! We started the day with a workshop talking about electron transfer and interactions between species and continued with transfer of curling stones and interactions between coworkers. Great day🥌😊

Last week week we attented the #ISAM2023 (uibk.ac.at/congress/isam2…) in Innsbruck. Anna Schnürer gave a keynote about syntrophs, #GeorgCheng and #EbbaPerman talked about acetogens and high solid digestion. Great days with many nice talks about the fascinating anaerobes!!

It was a great pleasure to have Anna Schnürer here in #Padova - a fantastic day spent among #science, art and good Italian food 😂😃 hope to meet you soon Anna! #anaerobic #digestion #biogas Department of Biology – University of Padova Laura Treu
