The Laboratory of Environmental Microbiological Technology (LEMT, lemt.jiangnan.edu.cn) originated from the Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory of Wuxi Light Industry Institute that established in the 1980s. In 2016, the team changed its name as "Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology Technology". In the past five years, we acquired more than 20 research funding, including the National Water Pollution Control and Treatment Science and Technology Major Project, the National Natural Science Foundation, etc. More than 50 research papers have been published in major journals in environmental science and technology field, such as Environmental Science and Technology, Water Research, Bioresource Technology and so on. In addition, we has received over 16 national patents. The laboratory is focused on its research fields in sludge anaerobic fermentation, organic solid waste and high-concentration organic wastewater treatment, the theory and technological innovation of disposal and resource utilization, etc. Professor Liu He, the group leader, currently serves reviewer of a dozen journals, including Environmental Journal, Journal of Environmental Science, Environmental Science and Technology, Water Research, etc.
