Welcome to the Microbial Ecology group at Uppsala University

Fieldwork in Mosquito-land

News! 21/12/07 - Lab shut down for Holidays. Back January 2008! 20/12/07 - Time to sign up for PhD course in Microbial Diversity at Uppsala University![1] 18/12/07 - Group website launched on OpenWetWare 12/12/07 - Friederike says hi from the Swedish/US Oden 2007/2008 expedition to the Amundsen Sea. Lots of ice, penguins and exciting samples to be analyzed for archaea, alpha-proteobacteria and diazotrophs upon return to Sweden in January

Research

The Microbial Ecology group is part of the Limnology program at the Department of Ecology & Evolution, EBC, Uppsala University. The research carried out in the group is focused on understanding the roles of microorganisms in aquatic food-webs and biogeochemical cycles. We address the role of microbial diversity in controlling processes at the community and ecosystem-level using an array of culture-independent molecular methods. We also design and perform laboratory and field experiments to address these questions and our continued research aims at revealing relationships between function and identity at the level of individuals, populations and communities.
