The "Microbes for Climate: From Greenhouse Gases to Products" conference, hosted by the Center for Synthetic Microbiology in Marburg will explore the pivotal role of microbes in driving and mitigating climate change. Microorganisms possess unique capabilities to directly utilize gases that are major contributors to climate change and turn them into useful biomass. For this reason, microbes have re-shaped our climate many times in our planet’s past and their unique abilities also hold the key to mitigating climate change today. This conference will bring together experts from academia and industry to showcase the unique biochemical machinery that allows microbes to live on climate gases and to explore how we can harness their metabolisms to sustainably make valuable chemicals directly from CO2.
