📢We are looking for a highly motivated researcher (either PhD student or postdoc) to work on this EU-funded project. I am aware summer is not the best time to recruit so I am hoping for some help from the Twittersphere to disseminate. I wish you all a great summer CMET

And here it is AgriLoop Project website agriloop-project.eu A very exciting project I am honoured to be part of

I am glad to have this one out! Nice collaboration with Quinten Mariën and @AlberteRegueira on steerable isobutyric and butyric acid production from CO2 and H2 by Clostridium luticellarii. CMET CAPTURE ami-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay! Make sure to share your celebrations using our hashtag :) On this date in 1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek sent a letter to the @RoyalSociety with the first description of a single-celled organism. Find out more: internationalmicroorganismday.org/whoarewe

Very excited to share our latest work digging into the microbial ecology of chain elongating granular biofilms! Using FISH and stable isotope-NanoSIMS, we look at key players' spatial organization and their competitive-cooperative interactions. doi.org/10.1038/s41396…

This is the final paper coming out of my PhD (with some post-doc crossover), and has been 5 years in the making. Great collaboration across institutes with Ramon Ganigué, CMET, Victoria Orphan, and Mari-Karoliina

Here we go! I am hiring 2 PhD students to work on novel strategies to design and engineer synthetic microbial communities for sustainable chemicals production. Apply by Nov 6 to come join us Systems & Synthetic Biology Lab at WUR Wageningen U&R! wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd… wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd…

Today is #WorldFoodDay2023 - our project is a collaboration between Europe & China to use agricultural & food processing waste to develop a range of high-value #biobased products for the #food #feed & #farming sectors #circular #bioeconomy agriloop-project.eu

Check-out this new publication by our colleagues Yorick Minnebo, KarenDelbaere, Valerie Goethals, Kim De Paepe and Tom Van de Wiele in collaboration with @jeroenraes, highlighting the importance of transit time on the #gut #microbiome! Studied in the SHIME ⏰🦠🧑🏻‍🔬 microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our colleagues are setting the stage for a #MicrobialFood Revolution with #Data-Driven insights in this newly published paper🙌 doi.org/10.1186/s12934…

The AgriLoop consortium would like to wish our followers a very happy holidays. All the best for 2024!

February 11 2024 celebrated the 9th International Day of Women and Girls in Science. From CMET we would like to put our grain of sand towards Equality in Science, and showcase the contributions of our female staff to a better world! #WomenInScienceDay #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

Job opportunity 📢 We are looking for a highly motivated postdoc to crunch data & figure out how to better mobilize biomass to feed biorefineries. Interested? Apply below! Not your thing? Spread the word, thanks! CAPTURE CMET Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent jobs.ugent.be/job/Zwijnaarde…

I still can’t believe this…. beyond excited to get my project #Waste2Ethanol funded!! Together with Ramon Ganigué and Christian Kost, we will study metabolic interactions in acidic environments for the non-sterile production of ethanol!! CMET UGent Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

🚨Job Opportunity Alert! Vacancy PhD candidate in carbon dioxide valorisation for aviation biofuel production through bioelectrochemical systems and microalgae. Help us spread the word. Thank you! ISMET LEQUIA-UdG lequia.udg.edu/work-at-lequia…

My last first-author post-doc paper is out now at ISME Communications! We (Mari-Karoliina & Bruce Godfrey) develop synthetic soil aggregates by including both bacteria and cellulose particles inside hydrogel beads. Read all about it right here: doi.org/10.1093/ismeco… (1/2)

Come listen to @AlberteRegueira talk about chain elongation to caproic acid at Hall 1 at #AD18 International Water Association in Istanbul 👍🏼🦠 Ramon Ganigué UGent Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent

We have finally moved 🎉 After 47 incredible years, we have said goodbye to Campus Coupure, and hello to CAPTURE 🌟 We are thrilled to start this new chapter and create fresh memories in our new home.🥳🥳 Watch the behind the scenes below 😉👇

Indeed, the end of a great journey. Special thanks to Quinten 's jury Stijn Van Hulle Marjan De Mey Jan Arends Diana Sousa and Matt Scarborough for the constructive feedback and entertaining discussion!

Join us in September for a day full of fun microbiology games 🦠
