  Novel bacteria-mediated metal detoxification strategies for bioremediation
University of Bath Department of Biology & Biochemistry
  Dr S Gebhard
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Heavy-metal contamination is a major problem worldwide, with fertilizers, pesticides, dyes, paints, and industrial processes such as metal processing and mining contributing to the problem.

  Engineering Microbial Communities for Biotechnology and Bioremediation
University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering
  Dr J Pandhal
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Microbial biotechnology is usually undertaken by a single species in a fermenter. However, some processes are metabolically challenging for a single species and therefore more suited to communities of microbes.

  Natural adaptation of extremophile microalgae to acid mine drainage environments through experimental evolution
University of Manchester School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Research Group: Ecology and Evolution
  Dr J Pittman, Dr C Knight
Application Deadline: 6 February 2019
Pollution from waste-streams such as abandoned mine sites is a major environmental problem that has deleterious consequences for aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems throughout the world.

  The role of interspecific interactions in shaping adaptive evolution in soil microbial communities
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
  Dr S O'Brien, Prof S Paterson, Prof M Brockhurst
Application Deadline: 9 January 2019
Understanding how microbial communities evolve and function is regarded as one of today’s greatest challenges. Microbial communities are highly diverse and complex, yet this same complexity makes it extremely challenging to understand how a community might respond and adapt to change.

  Understanding and dissecting microbial communities with Raman spectroscopy
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
  Prof R Goodacre
Application Deadline: 28 February 2019
We have shown that it is possible to label bacteria with heavy isotopes of carbon (13C) and nitrogen (15N) and this incorporation within cellular biomass of heavy isotopes has led to significant shifts in certain vibrational modes from amino acids and nucleic acids that can be readily detected with Raman spectroscopy.

  (BBSRC DTP) Developing enhanced production and separation techniques for glycolipid biosurfactants
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr J Winterburn, Dr Peter Martin
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Glycolipid biosurfactants are naturally occurring amphiphiles with a range of unique properties including biodegradability and tolerance of a wide range of temperature and pH.
