About this job
If you are curious about the fundamental physiology of microbial metabolism and excited by the prospect of pushing microorganisms to their biochemical limits, this is your opportunity. At DTU, you will investigate how microbial cells can be empowered to assimilate acetate more efficiently by supplying external reducing power — contributing to a deeper understanding of microbial physiology while helping unlock the potential of Power-to-X feedstocks for sustainable bioproduction. Responsibilities and qualifications Acetate is a promising CO₂-derived P2X feedstock, but its assimilation is energetically costly for microbial cells. In this project, you will investigate whether co-feeding reduced C1 compounds such as methanol can relieve these redox constraints and push the carbon-efficiency…
