Nanoengineering for enhanced toxic metals adsorption: Nanoengineering for Enhanced Toxic Metals Adsorption: From Synthesis to Biorecognition

Author(s): Allwin Mabes Raj (Author), Aleksandra Lobnik (Supervisor), Aleš Lapanje (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Environmental contamination by toxic metals—such as Pb²⁺, Cr³⁺, and Hg²⁺—and organometallic species like monomethylmercury (MeHg) presents one of the most persistent global challenges due to their bioaccumulation, long-term toxicity, and resistance to degradation. This thesis addresses this critical issue through a multidisciplinary approach combining nanotechnology, environmental chemistry, biosensor engineering, and …

Development of methods for electrostatic immobilization and coupling different microbial cells

Author(s): Iaroslav Rybkin (Author), Aleš Lapanje (Supervisor), Tomaž Rijavec (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2021

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Naturally formed microbial communities are present in the form of cellular aggregates that create a set of diverse biochemical pathways through cross-feeding between the members of the microbial community. One of the most important factors so that some biochemical reactions can occur is the appropriate spatial placement of a particular …
