The Environmental Biotechnology Group is located in the Geo and Environmental Research Center (GUZ) at the University of Tuebingen.

We investigate the use of natural microbes in engineered systems to make conversions, such as the treatment of wasted organic materials and industrial off-gases into useful products.

The Group consists of the Angenent Lab, Molitor Lab, Ortiz Lab, Stouten Lab, and Schmitz Lab. We combine bioprocess/environmental engineering with microbiology including metagenomics/proteomics, and systems biology/metabolic engineering.

Lars Angenent was filmed and interviewed for a tv program on renewable technologies (Plan B) on ZDF.
