Magdalena Czemierska

Dr. Magdalena Czemierska is a Lecturer at the Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska (UMCS), Lublin, Poland. She conducts research on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by Rhodococcus strains and their applications in environmental science, particularly heavy metal sorption and bioflocculation processes.

• Current affiliation: UMCS (since at least 2015)
• Projects: 3 funded by National Science Centre (2013-2027)
• Research focus: EPS characterization, microbial biotechnology, environmental remediation

Her publications (21 total) explore EPS interactions with heavy metals (lead, cadmium), calcium mineralization mechanisms, and polymer-based water purification systems. Key projects include:

• 2024-2027: Algae-bacteria EPS synergy for pollutant biodegradation
• 2017-2021: Exopolymer analysis from Rhodococcus opacus
• 2013-2016: Polysaccharides as bioflocculants/biosorbents

She teaches biochemistry laboratory courses, applied biocatalysis, secondary metabolism, and supervises thesis workshops. Her work contributes to sustainable environmental technologies using microbial polymers.
