Nadine Rüppel

Nadine Rüppel is a Researcher at the Institute of Microbiology, part of the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Leibniz University Hannover. Her work focuses on understanding microbial metabolism and active taxa in maize-fed biogas plants, particularly analyzing process instability and early indicators of system failure. She employs techniques like RNA-stable isotope probing (RNA-SIP) and mRNA-SIP alongside LC-MS/GC analyses to trace metabolic pathways and microbial activity.

Her research addresses the anaerobic degradation of organic substrates, aiming to optimize biogas production efficiency through insights into microbial community dynamics. Key topics include 13C-labeled substrate tracing, acidification impacts, and metabolic flux monitoring. While no specific awards or grants are listed, her contributions advance sustainable energy systems and environmental microbiology.

Located at Herrenhäuser Straße 2 in Hannover, she collaborates within interdisciplinary teams at the Institute, contributing to lab-scale biogas experiments and process stability research.
