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. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

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. @wileymicrobio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
