Onzichtbare microben sturen broeikasgassen in water - Bionieuws

Op sommige plekken in Nederlandse rivieren neemt de uitstoot van methaan opvallend toe. ‘Op twee kilometer na een lozingspunt van gezuiverd afvalwater zagen we ineens dat er veel meer methaan uit het water vrijkwam. En tegelijk zagen we dat ook de micro-organismen die dat produceren toenamen’, zegt microbioloog Ida Peterse. Op 9 april 2026 promoveert […]
