Season's Greetings from the Lindlich Lab!

05.12.2025 To celebrate a successful year, our wonderful Lindlich community came together for festive science presentations and a follow-up party! We started off with our annual tradition of a Glühwein-infused Pathday, where pathway enthusiasts shared whacky ideas of growth-coupling and moonshot potential production routes. Following this, we played our highly anticipated game of Meme Santa, where each lab member was assigned a name to create a meme about. We had lots of well

Lab Trip to the Berlin Sewage Treatment Facility Klärwerk Ruhleben

04.12.2025 In our lab, we are developing high tech solutions by rewiring bacterial metabolism to serve completely new tasks. For these technologies to change the world, there is still a long way to go. Not so long ago, water management was such high a tech solution, while now it is routinely applied - at least in our home, Berlin. To understand the scale and details of this process, we visited the biggest water treatment plant in the west of Berlin – built by the United State

Opinion Piece on Growth-Coupled Bioproduction Published for COBIOT

24.11.2025 Growth-coupled bioproduction is a powerful strategy that links production to metabolic activity. However, we frequently encounter misunderstandings when discussing this concept with bioprocess engineers. This motivated us to write this article , to iron out any misunderstandings arising from the terminology. Here, we clarify these misconceptions and explain the advantages of such metabolic setups, using nature’s most striking examples of growth-coupled bioproductio

Jan becomes Dr Jan!

20.08.2025 Jan successfully defended his PhD Thesis titled "Engineering Synthetic Metabolism to Control Cellular Carbon and Energy Flow" in Marburg. The whole Lindlich lab used this opportunity for a field trip, to visit colleagues and friends at the Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology all closed by a wild celebration dance through the night at Café Trauma.
