William B. Whitman, a famous microbiologist from Georgia State University， was invited to BIOMA by our energy microbial innovation team from July 26th to 29th. He gave two academic presentations - How to describe species of prokaryotes: new codes and customs and Heterologous expression of the methylreductase of methanogens: a peek into the making of a complex enzyme system.

In recent years, our energy microbial innovation team focused on academic exchanges. On the one hand, the researchers were encouraged to attend high-level academic conferences; on the other hand, experts were invited to communicate with our researchers. Whitman has great reputation in the area, so he has helped to broaden the horizons of our researchers and promote long-term cooperation relationship.
