If you get a chance, check out our pre-proof on ammonium management using zeolite in a Non sewered sanitation system. Huge thanks to @gatesfoundation and @wash_centre_sa for the support to make this study possible.

Checkout our new publication by @CynCastro88 @dhyeh that explores the use of zeolite filters for ammonium removal from blackwater and the regeneration strategies undertaken for subsequent filter reuse.

@TrueSlazac I went there for the first time last year and you’d be amazed at the engineering and design efforts it took to actually make this. I think it’s pretty impressive given the time frame it was made.

[Dr. Cynthia Castro @CynCastro88]

@WaSusResearch Congratulations, Mauricio!! Looking forward to seeing the impacts of this important work in FL.

@jacasiegel My extended family (most only went to 8th grade or less in a foreign country) always asking me why I’m still in school and that I should seriously just marry someone and get a real job. 🤷🏽‍♀️

An additional important finding in this paper:
Shewanella oneidensis is NOT capable of DIET

Yet another reason why
Shewanella ≠ Geobacter
Despite what is often written.

Thus, metagenomic predictions of DIET based solely on the presence of c-type cytochromes not warranted.
