Research Interest

Microbial ecology in terrestrial environments with special emphasis on the following: Microbial diversity in terrestrial environment and effects on ecosystem services Structure, diversity and function of microbial communities including bacteria, fungi and protozoa Resilience and robustness of microbial communities when challenged with microbes and other organisms, pesticides and xenobiotic compounds Microbiological soil quality Interactions between bacteria and protozoa in terrestrial environment Risk assessment of released microorganisms (genetically modified or microbial pest control agents), Bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dependence on bioavailability Environmental effects of xenobiotic compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, nanomaterials and pesticides Techniques in use include up-to-date molecular tools, such as PCR-DGGE, cloning and RFLP, chemical analysis and traditional microbiological culturing techniques and microscopy.
