PhD in Microbial Biotechnology

PhD position to increase our understanding on how yeast cell death factors impact physiology and what evolutionary trade-offs are between cell death and survival at the culture level. One specific, and highly relevant condition that you will investigate is anaerobicity. This knowledge will be used to improve the bioproduction of chemicals, including ethanol as done in Brazilian biorefineries./nThe research is embedded within the chair Bioprocess Engineering and is part of the Microbial Biotechnology team at Wageningen University & Research. Supervision by Dr. Mark Bisschops. Location: Wageningen, Netherlands.
