FRESH PUBLISHED ARTICLES: Nanohaloarchaea as beneficiaries of xylan degradation by haloarchaea by Violetta La Cono et al., Check out here ➡️ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

We're thrilled Bangor University to become partners in two strong consortia as part of this - the Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre led by Fred Coulon Cranfield University, and Preventing Plastic Pollution with Engineering Biology (P3EB) led by Andy Pickford University of Portsmouth. Ymlaen!

Just published in Environmental Microbiome - our latest paper exploring #plastic colonisation dynamics and #AMR gene persistence in #plastisphere communities with colleagues Davey Jones @DNThomas01 Joseph A. Christie-Oleza and Elizabeth Wellington Read more below👇 …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This week we have received Hairong Ma, coming from our FuturEnzyme ‘s partner @BangorUniversity (School of Natural Sciences, Peter Golyshing group), and will be with us around a month performing some experiments for her PhD. We hope she enjoys her stay here and the nice weather!

On 28th May,Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf organized a symposium in honor of Prof. Dr. Karl-Erich Jaeger, one of the essential members of our consortium, with more than 40 years of experience in the world of microbial and enzymatic technologies. His retirement is a well deserved step, we will miss him!

The Centre for Environmental Biotechnology Plus at Bangor University has secured funding from Ambition North Wales’s Growth Deal. This investment will drive research into sustainable enzymes, paving the way for greener alternatives to industrial chemicals. bit.ly/46NJudj

Mae Environmental Biotechnology Bangor wedi sicrhau cyllid gan Gynllun Twf Uchelgais Gogledd Cymru. Bydd y buddsoddiad hwn yn gyrru ymchwil i ensymau unigryw a'r defnydd posib ohonynt fel cynhyrchion a phrosesau fydd yn cael llai o effaith ar yr amgylchedd. bit.ly/3M51uXd

We’re excited to expand our work using #enzymes to seek solutions to pressing #environmental challenges with our Henfaes scale-up facility Bangor University. Thanks to Ambition North Wales for strengthening #biotechnology research in north Wales. Diolch o galon! bangor.ac.uk/news/2024-08-1…

Our latest paper describing a cell wall-lacking, hyperacidophilic #Archaea from novel genus Oxyplasma found at Vulcano Island in Sicily. Congratulations & thanks to colleagues FuturEnzyme, Bertram Daum & mmb_nioz Read more in #IJSEM Microbiology Society🔓 doi.org/10.1099/ijsem.…

Sunny, rich & enlightling review meeting of FuturEnzyme today in #brussels Looking forward to last phase of the project and the green #products to be produced with #enzymes for #detergents #cosmetics and #textile

The latest from our lab: we identify widespread #polyesterase activity from 27 mesophilic family IV carboxylesterases, and engineer highly thermostable variants which retain excellent #plastic degrading activity. Read more🔓👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.jhaz… #circulareconomy #recycling

A big "diolch" from the CEB team to all attendees of the 22nd edition of #Archaea UK at Bangor University & special thanks to our fantastic lead organiser Prof Olga Golyshina. Superb talks and useful discussions all around, and we're looking forward to see you all at the next workshop!
