  During the last 35 years I have developed microscale sensors for analysis of chemical microenvironment and microbial metabolism in nature and in man-made microbial ecosystems such as waste water treatment plants. I have spent most time on microbial oxygen respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis in sediments and algal mats and on nitrogen transformations. For the study of these processes I have developed (in collaboration with my students and postdocs) microsensors for oxygen, sulfide, nitrous… Show more During the last 35 years I have developed microscale sensors for analysis of chemical microenvironment and microbial metabolism in nature and in man-made microbial ecosystems such as waste water treatment plants. I have spent most time on microbial oxygen respiration and oxygenic photosynthesis in sediments and algal mats and on nitrogen transformations. For the study of these processes I have developed (in collaboration with my students and postdocs) microsensors for oxygen, sulfide, nitrous oxide, nitrate, nitrite, methane and volatile fatty acids. Lately we have developed a sulfide-insensitive microsensor for hydrogen.
