Legionella bacteria are found in small quantities in fresh natural waters and soil. Small amounts of legionella bacteria can enter water systems in buildings with raw water and, under favourable conditions, can form colonies on biofilms on the inside of pipes.
Noora Salonen, an expert who has been working at the WANDER research centre since 2018, received her doctorate in technology from Aalto University in December. She wrote a dissertation in biotechnology entitled "Recombinant protein yield in Lactococcus lactis - application to D-tagatose yield."

One of these methods is to reduce the amount of active water in the food, i.e. the water that is available for microbes to use. Salt and sugar in food reduce the amount of active water and therefore, for example, jamming with sugar and salting mushrooms are good preservation methods.

The WANDER staff also spend their leisure time on water and hygiene. Specialist researcher Riika Mäkinen dragged her holiday party to Soho, London, to see the memorial of John Snow, a doctor who was considered the founder of epidemiology.
The aim of the WANDER Research Centre in the project is to study and demonstrate the impact of magnetic water treatment (MWT) on surface scale formation, corrosion phenomena and microbiological cleanliness of water systems.
