Projects

Wastewater is a source of antibiotic resistant bacteria. We study their dissemination in the aquatic environment, and strategies to remove them.

Antibiotic resistance as an emerging environmental contaminant

Niches and traits of methanotroph bacteria in stratified lakes are studied with the ultimate goal to improve process models.

MOBtrait: Methanotrophs in stratified lakes

Copper and Methane Oxidation

We study the ecological stability of anammox biofilms, which are responsible for the autotrophic Nitrogen removal in mixed nitritation-anammox systems.

Ecological stability of anammox biofilms

How is nitrate removed from lakes?
