University of Bayreuth researchers investigate microbial fuel cells

January 9, 2023 |

In Germany, at present, microbial fuel cells are mainly used in research laboratories to generate electricity. In order for industrial applications to be considered in the future, the fuel cells must be further developed so that they can produce consistently higher amounts of electricity than is currently the case. In a recent study published in […]

University of Bayreuth researchers find biodegradable microplastic particles in soils can increase CO2 emissions

University of Bayreuth researchers find biodegradable microplastic particles in soils can increase CO2 emissions

December 5, 2022 |

In Germany, biodegradable microplastic particles in soils can lead to an increased rise in CO₂ emissions to the Earth’s atmosphere. This is shown by an interdisciplinary study published in “Applied Soil Ecology” by the Collaborative Research Centre 1357 “Microplastics” at the University of Bayreuth. In this study, experts in soil ecology and ecological microbiology compare […]

University of Bayreuth discover enzyme for use as biocatalyst

University of Bayreuth discover enzyme for use as biocatalyst

May 25, 2020 |

In Germany, researchers at the University of Bayreuth have now discovered an enzyme that offers great advantages as a biocatalyst. It is eminently suited for the production of natural product-derived drugs that promise a broad spectrum of medical application. Conventional synthesis processes for these substances are very laborious. In the journal ACS Catalysis, researchers from […]
