The object of this group is to look insight the syntrophic partnership and electron transfer in the methanogenesis system and develop the more effective biogas technology.
1. Anaerobic syntrophic
The ecosystem of syntrophic bacteria and the partner methanogens is important for the global carbon cycle and biological organic waste treatment. Different organic leads to a different syntrophic partnership. The syntrophic partnership is one of our interests, especially in the terephthalate- one of manufacture waste degrading system.
2.Electron transfer:
Electron transfer plays an important role in the series step of anaerobic biogas process. Indirect or direct Interspecies electron transfer between the syntrophic partner is the key to provide the thermodynamical condition to reduce the high organic compound to methane
3.Special system:
There are several special reactor systems in our lab, including TA (Terephthalate), AHA (Anaerobic high ammonia) and AHS (Anaerobic high salt). We try to use the meta-omics methodology to study this system.
