||| December 3, 2024 |||
On December 3, 2024, Dr. Laura Wey from the University of Turku in Finland will give a talk on exoelectrogenesis as a permanent extracellular electron transport pathway in photosynthetic bacteria as part of the IP4 science talk series at the UFZ.
Joint Biochemical colloquium of the Institute of Biochemistry and b-ACT matter
||| December 10, 2024 |||
We cordially invite you to the Joint Biochemical colloquium of the Institute of Biochemistry and b-ACT matter in December. The topic of Dr. Bastian Molitor’s lecture is “Carbon dioxide utilization and microbiomes: Unraveling physiological traits of anaerobic (gas-fermenting) microbes”.
Kick-off meeting of the M-ERA.NET project LivMat
The new b-ACTmatter project ‘LivMat: Productive catalytic living materials: combining 3D biobased fibrillar membranes with synthetic microbial consortia to produce chemicals’ was launched this summer.
On 19 September 2024 the project partners from Leipzig University, Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Kaunas University of Technology (KUT), University of Latvia (ULaT) and Solaga GmbH met in Leipzig’s BIO CITY for the kick-off meeting.
New publication about the detection of sulfonamide antibiotics
Our research group ‘Active Materials’ recently published an article on the detection of sulfonamide antibiotics with optical biosensors in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. The technology developed in the research group is based on elastic hydrogel microparticles, so-called soft colloidal probes (SCP).
