Professor Alfred Spormann (Civil & Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering)
Complex microbial communities play an important role in a range of environments, including the biodegradation of toxic compounds in groundwater, interactions in the human gut affecting health, and the contribution of agriculture to global atmospheric methane concentrations. Ian is applying novel molecular methods, specifically, tiling DNA microarray, to query the presence and expression of functional genes from a wide range of microbes in the environment to better understand interspecies microbial interactions. |
