Environmental and Evolutionary Microbiology
My primary interest is the environment, the quality of our living resources and the ways that bacteria can help to manage and degrade human wastes and restore environmental health. Consequently, I am very interested in genetic adaptation processes in bacteria, the mechanisms by which they deal with toxic substances, how they react to pollution in general and how we can apply microbial processes in a useful way (like bacterial bioreporters, bioremediation, microbiome engineering).
Tania's and Isaline's paper on interspecific interaction measurements from surface microcolony growth
Triple hurrah!
Fate of inoculants in soil microbiome interventions revealed (or why it frequently fails)!
Congratulations to Andrea for passing his PhD exam!
