Laboratory of Anaerobic Microorganisms

Microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) has been recognized for more than a century, yet its contribution to failures and accidents in the process industry remains underestimated. Anaerobic microorganisms—particularly sulfate‑reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea—can significantly accelerate the deterioration of metallic materials, especially in environments where biofilms thrive. Understanding the extent and conditions under which MIC occurs is essential for improving industrial safety and preventing costly failures.

Our research group is pleased to share our recent publication, which demonstrates that molasses stillage is a highly promising substrate for biogas production, with the highest methane yields achieved at 50 °C using wastewater treatment plant inoculum—thanks to its richer and more resilient microbial community.

Our research group is pleased to share our recent publication exploring the interaction of saponification products with microbial communities in both aerobic and anaerobic sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
