The Lab Talks

Together, we live on Earth in ecosystems where all organisms, including humans, are connected. Within these ecosystems, there is a natural cycle in which substances are constantly used and transformed into new, usable materials. However, the large-scale use of fossil fuels is disrupting this balance, leading to increasing instability in the environment and the climate.

Did you know that microbes can help develop sustainable alternatives? Microbes are surprisingly versatile. Some break down waste, others purify water, and many do much more. One such microbe is Chlorococcum, our Microbe of the Month, which is used, among other things, in the production of biogas.

Visit this month and discover how microbes like Chlorococcum can be applied to create a more sustainable future.
