Congratulations! Mahir just defended his PhD-thesis "Self-sustaining biofilms: Diazotrophic Tolypothrix sp. PCC 7712 as a potential cyanobacterial candidate for technical applications" in front of a numerous and very excited crowd.


.

The brand new review article "Beneficial applications of biofilms"  by Laura-Alina Philipp, Katja Bühler, Roland Ulber and Johannes Gescher is now online (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41579-023-00985-0).


New Publication! The book "Cyanobacteria in Biotechnology - Applications and Quantitative Perspectives"  edited by Katja and Pia Lindberg is now available as an eBook (ISBN 978-3-031-33274-6) and in print (ISBN 978-3-031-33273-9).

Cyanobacteria in Biotechnology

Amelie, who is already conquering the industry world just got her paper "Evaluating scaling of capillary biofilm photo-reactors for high cell density cultivation of mixed trophies artificial microbial consortia" accepted in Engineering Life Sciences. All the best Amelie!
