(author)Extremely halophilic archaea are one of the principal microbial community components in hypersaline environments. The majority of cultivated haloarchaea are aerobic heterotrophs using peptides or simple sugars as carbon and energy sources. At the same time, a number of novel metabolic capacities of these extremophiles were discovered recently...journal article 2023

Lyu, Haozheng (author)Fine sieved fraction (FSF) is a solid waste generated from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Cellulose fiber is the most important component of FSF, which can be fermented into volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and then be used as carbon sources in biological nutrient removal (BNR). This thesis measured and evaluated the aerobic & anaerobic...master thesis 2022

Nederveen, Tim (author)Environmental guidelines (EU WFD) impose a strict effluent phosphate target on wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). An abundance of phosphate (and other nutrients) in a water body is called eutrophication. Eutrophication can lead to algal blooms which result in very low oxygen concentrations in the water. Other species, like fish and aquatic...master thesis 2022

Alberts Coelho, Alexsander (author)The building stock and the construction industry combined are responsible for a large share of greenhouse gases emissions. At the same time, every year tons of wood, paper and agricultural residues are wasted instead of recycled and upcycled into the production chain. In the fabrication field, the relevance of additive manufacturing processes is...master thesis 2022

Bierach, Christopher (author)With a building industry that is responsible for a large amount of our carbon emissions, a rising population, and the over-extraction of resources, architects and engineers have the responsibility to use environmentally friendly products. Lignin and cellulose are the most abundant biopolymers on earth and produce a lot of waste by ending up...master thesis 2022

Becerra Perez, L.A. (author), Rincón, Luis E. (author), Posada Duque, J.A. (author)There is global pressure to make advanced biofuels profitable. For cellulosic ethanol, three aspects remain as bottlenecks: collection of feedstocks, pretreatment methods, and enzyme production. In this paper, the first aspect is investigated, by addressing the main challenges for the logistics of agricultural residues. A logistic supply...journal article 2022

Yu, K. (author)Catastrophic breakage of a material might bring severe accidents in aerospace engineering, construction, and transportation field. Therefore, engineering material with high toughness values is very important for these special applications. Many biological materials in nature, such as nacre, silk, and wood, possess high toughness values because...doctoral thesis 2021

(author)Functionalized biomass waste sources of cellulose have drawn attention due to their high availability and sustainability properties. In this work we characterize the structural and flow properties of high-pressure homogenized citrus fiber cellulose dispersions, employing SAXS, rheology and rheo-MRI techniques. The high-pressure treatment...journal article 2021

Balasubramanian, S. (author), Yu, K. (author), Vasquez Cardenas, D. (author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author), Meyer, Anne S. (author)Biofilms are three-dimensional (3D) bacterial communities that exhibit a highly self-organized nature in terms of their composition and complex architecture. Bacteria in biofilms display emergent biological properties, such as resistance to antimicrobials and disinfectants that the individual planktonic cells lack. Bacterial biofilms possess...journal article 2021

(author), Fratzl, Peter (author), Keplinger, Tobias (author), Burgert, Ingo (author)The need for renewable bio-based materials that could replace well-established synthetic composite materials is rapidly growing. For example, bio-based materials are increasingly used in applications where a lightweight design should be combined with sustainability and recyclability. However, it is often very challenging to directly transfer...journal article 2021

(author)Sustainable structural materials with excellent impact-resistance properties are urgently needed but challenging to produce, especially in a scalable fashion and with control over 3D shape. Here, we show that bacterial cellulose (BC) and bacterially precipitated calcium carbonate self-assemble into a layered structure reminiscent of tough...journal article 2021

Pereira Espíndola, S. (author), Pronk, M. (author), Zlopasa, J. (author), Picken, S.J. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)Wastewater solids could be an attractive source of secondary raw cellulose, mainly originating from toilet paper. Cellulose can be recovered through sieving of raw wastewater, return sludge, or excess sludge. In particular, a large fraction of cellulose (13–15%) can be found in the excess sludge of the aerobic granular sludge produced by the...journal article 2021
