If you get a chance, check out our pre-proof on ammonium management using zeolite in a Non sewered sanitation system. Huge thanks to @gatesfoundation and @wash_centre_sa for the support to make this study possible.
Checkout our new publication by @CynCastro88 @dhyeh that explores the use of zeolite filters for ammonium removal from blackwater and the regeneration strategies undertaken for subsequent filter reuse.

New work just published in #ESWRT by @Cyncastro88 evaluates the use of chemically modified clinoptilolite zeolite for the dual removal and capture of NH4 and PO4. Find out more ➡ bit.ly/3kPKpGi
Excited to share our new publication in Royal Society of Chemistry #ESWRT in which we comparatively study the removal performance of ammonium and phosphate from blackwater using clinoptilolite zeolite. We show that phosphate remova…lnkd.in/eVdd-7GS lnkd.in/ermFUrBK

An additional important finding in this paper:
Shewanella oneidensis is NOT capable of DIET
Yet another reason why
Shewanella ≠ Geobacter
Despite what is often written.
Thus, metagenomic predictions of DIET based solely on the presence of c-type cytochromes not warranted.
New #mLife article: Transcriptomes of Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) pairs suggest that the physiology of electron-accepting partners directly impact the physiology of Geobacteria metallireducens as the electron donor.

This new commercial from Mothers Against Greg Abbott is one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen.
I remember being really excited to start that fall 15 years ago! Loved every minute of it. Hook ‘em 🤘
