Project description
Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are organisms that use hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and ammonia to produce biomass, among which high-quality protein. Microbial consortia are made in this project, starting from autotrophic hydrogen-oxidizers and their heterotrophic commensals to maximize production of biomass. This process is aided by predictive modelling that will give insights in the mechanisms behind high productivity.
