Thesis topic:

Application of anammox bacteria as a source of specific membrane phospholipids

Motivation

Anammox bacteria that are often used in sewage treatment, contain unique membrane phospholipids called ladderanes. These phospholipids consisting of cyclobutane rings are present exclusively in the membranes of anammox bacteria and create highly impermeable membranes. The available information on these lipids is incomplete, lacking data on their synthesis, the conditions influencing their structure, which complicates the application of these lipids.

Solution

This project aims to reuse the biowaste from wastewater treatment plants as a source of these unique lipids, which can be applied as biofuel or in the chemical industry. Therefore a detailed description of characteristics, synthesis of ladderanes, functions of ladderane membranes, and means of extraction is necessary for the following use. Several reactors will be operated for this purpose, inoculated with anammox enrichments or cultures used in wastewater treatment plants. The influence of physicochemical conditions, microbial composition, and others will be assessed as factors affecting the structure and functions of ladderanes.
