Mike Jetten is a Dutch biologist serving as a professor of ecological microbiology at Radboud University Nijmegen. His research focuses on chemical reactions used by bacteria as energy sources, including the anammox reaction. Jetten's team investigates the ecology, physiology, and applications of anaerobic microorganisms, which play significant roles in processes such as the nitrogen cycle, methane oxidation, and wastewater treatment. He has made notable contributions to understanding the biogeochemical relevance of these microbes, including significant discoveries regarding the role of anaerobic bacteria in global nitrogen cycling. Jetten's work has garnered several prestigious awards, including the Spinoza Prize in 2012 and recognition as PhD supervisor of the year by the National PhD Council in 2017. He leads several projects supported by the European Research Council, aiming to decipher critical geochemical pathways and enhance our understanding of microbial interactions in the environment.
