DESCRIPTION:Environmental bioprocess modeling has proven as a very useful 
 tool for analysis of natural and man-made ecosystems. Attributing specific
  redox reactions to specific microbial groups allows for investigating a c
 omplex microbial community as the sum of the different reactions in the sy
 stem. Inclusion of the microbial redox reactions in bioreactor systems and
  by including thermodynamic equilibria\, phase transfer reactions\, and sp
 atial distribution of reactions allows for establishment of an overall sys
 tem description. This kind of models have been used for analysis of numero
 us wastewater treatment related processes like the activated sludge proces
 s\, anaerobic digestion\, and biofilm processes.\n In recent years metapro
 teogenomic methods have become available to investigate microbial ecosyste
 ms. To which extent these methods and the corresponding modeling tools are
  of interest for research in the field of applied environmental microbiolo
 gy will be the topic of this presentation. First I will present an overvie
 w of recent modeling efforts in our research group\, and based on that exp
 erience I will discuss the potential role of metaproteogenomic tools in th
 e field of environmental microbiology.\n
