Department of Environmental Biotechnology (UBT)
Institution
Section overview
Description
The department investigates microbe-catalysed processes in natural and technical environments and characterizes their molecular basis. By use of systems-based approaches we search for responsible organisms, enzymes, and encoding genes in soils and sediments as well as in wastewater and (constructed) wetlands.
