Published in Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry Abstract Multienzymatic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into chemicals has been extensively studied. However, regeneration and reuse of co-factor are […]
Published in Sedimentology Abstract Laminated microbial mats and microbialites have been documented from a variety of coastal marine environments. This study aims to provide the first […]
In nature, most organisms have inherent rhythmic cycles such as the circadian rhythm which reacts to changes in temperatures and daylight. These reactions allow the organism […]
The undesirable presence of bacteria and viruses on the solid surface presents an important threat in the indoor environment. Although the viruses don’t grow on any […]
Our Micro Bio Design lab is situated in the Ellison Building at Northumbria University. The research lab facilitates the analysis and fabrication of biological systems and […]
Two members of the Hub at Northumbria University, Gary Black, Hub co-Director and Professor of Protein Biochemistry along with Darren Smith, Associate Professor in Phage Biology […]
There is growing interest in nature-integrated design where living organisms such as algae, bacteria, moss and fungi are starting to be used as a building material […]
Weak and unstable soils can limit the building of new infrastructure. Current soil strengthening techniques such as chemical grouting have detrimental effects on the environment from […]
A fourth research theme: Responsible Interactions, led by Ben Bridgens and Ruth Morrow has been added to the HBBE over the summer. The interactions of concern […]
The microbiome, the collective genomic entity of all microbiota – bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses of an environment holds an immense amount of information, a […]
Within the Microbial Environments team of the HBBE we are interested in the millions of microorganisms we share our everyday habitats with. These microbes include complex […]
