Research interests

My research focuses on the dynamics of bacterial gene activity over space and time and on the niches that different bacterial taxa occupy during certain processes. I am specifically interested in processes involved into carbon and iron cycling in marine environments to unravel the coupling between those two cycles, which has a major impact on the CO2 budget of the world’s oceans.
For this purpose I will target expression patterns of mRNA as well as detect specific active enzymes in natural environmental systems and chemostat or batch-culture experiments. Activity patterns will be identified by using a meta transcriptomic approach, specific amplification of mRNA and quantification of transcribed and active enzymes by fluorogenic methods.
