Today we and SLU colleagues together with representatives from authorities, branch organisations and companies, had the opportunity to talk to farmers about the greatness of the biogas system. The interest in Sweden is increasing, for both biogas and bio-fertiliser. Fun day!

The trip to Braga and the ICBM 4 https://t.co/rZpCP8YBl6 have started 😊 Uppsala to Stockholm ✔️ Now waits another three days exploration of the European train system. Updates will come!

[AMB (Anaerobic Microbiology and Biotechnology) @AMB_SLU]

We did it and it was even more smooth than expected! Working trip by train can be recommended - a very good team building event! Now we are looking forward to https://t.co/rZpCP9gccE

Curious about propionate oxidisers in methanogenic systems? Check this new nice review https://t.co/qjZuNY43qY Great summary by @MariaWesterholm, Magda Calusinska and Jan Dolfing

Feeding fish with yeast cells grown on hydrolysate from AD of food waste @FormasForsk#Waste2Fish (https://t.co/3ReXNoyarI). Fascinating how microbes can be put to work and assist in our strive to reach a more sustainable society. So fun and interesting to be a microbiologist!

Can acetogens be used for surveillance of biogas plants? If you are curious check out our recent papers. We are also exploring this topic further so more will come…. Thanks for collaboration @GasumOy @tekniskaverken, https://t.co/97I3ZoJf6u, https://t.co/xRn8aae53H

[AMB (Anaerobic Microbiology and Biotechnology) @AMB_SLU]

Starting up our new biogas babies. Plug flow digestion of food waste is a hot topic in Sweden right now and we will run some lab test to evaluate novel operational management strategies in collaboration with partners in @BiogasResearch. Updates will come.....

Congratulations @abhijeet214 to your PhD. 🎉🎉The discussions went very well! Thanks to the opponent @PerHNielsen and the committee @SousaDZ @campanarostef and @Stebe69 for the nice discussions and for sharing good ideas!!

[AMB (Anaerobic Microbiology and Biotechnology) @AMB_SLU]

Today @abhijeet214 happily nailed his thesis entitled “ Microbial surveillance of biogas plants- focusing on the acetogenic community”. Excellent work! The public defence will be hold on line 30th of March at 13. Let us know if you like to join or have a copy of the thesis.

Let us present Candidatus Syntrophopropionicum - a novel ammonia tolerant syntrophic propionate oxidizer https://t.co/6eV6hsiJa3

AMB team “christmas party” = outdoor Corona safe experiment involving some spices, alcohol and heating. Cold for our feet but warm for the souls.

[AMB (Anaerobic Microbiology and Biotechnology) @AMB_SLU]

We just kicked off the project OZOboost funded by @Energi_mynd togheter with @mellifiq. We will look inte the effect of ozone treatment on biogas production from manure and WWTP sludge in semicontinuous lab reactors. Updates on result will come during next year.

New publication! We show that #pulping technique is highly important when considering #AD of #primarysludge from the #pulpandpaper industry, and that bleaching improves #methane potential in mechanically pulped fibres, in part by deacetylation #biogas

First paper out as a post doc! Interesting but challenging project regarding microbiology of UASB processes, operating with high COD hydrolysate from wheat straw and dark fermentation. Congrats Tong Liu ! https://t.co/ZrirD5Pvu6

[Anna Schnürer @annaschnurer]

I januari startar @SLU en biogaskurs på grundnivå. Vi hoppas på deltagare med olika bakgrund för ett bra kunskapsutbyte. Välkommen att söka oavsett om du just tog examen eller redan är ute i arbetslivet! Ta chansen att lära dig om det unika biogassystemet! https://t.co/8uVNogKQjI

[AMB (Anaerobic Microbiology and Biotechnology) @AMB_SLU]

AcetoBase have now got a sibling AcetoScane, for analysis of fthfs and profiling of acetogenic communities. Great job by @abhijeet214. https://t.co/wYF4GcHCZT

[Jan Moestedt @JMoestedt]

@AMB_SLU Interesting and important!
