Enzymatic Inactivation of Antibiotics in Agricultural Waste
The Molecular Biotechnology research group, led by Prof. Dr. Katja Arndt, develops innovative solutions to combat antimicrobial resistance through the enzymatic inactivation of antibiotics in organic waste. In animal husbandry and agriculture, antibiotics enter the environment via waste products, feces, or milk from treated cows, promoting the development of antibiotic resistance. This can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens that are ultimately difficult or impossible to treat, posing a serious threat to human health.

Biopolymer Analytics for crop improvement
The 13 person strong team of the Biopolymer Analytics group led by Prof apl. Dr. habil Joerg Fettke, is interested in primary metabolism of plants, specially starch metabolism. Starch synthesis and degradation includes several enzymes (>40) and different glycans, sugars, and sugar derivatives. The interplay between all these components as well as the fluxes through the various pathways are of special interest to the group.
