We focus on aquatic ecology by investigating patterns and processes that underpin the distribution, abundance and diversity of microorganisms in diverse aquatic habitats. Some of our quests deal with the following: * How do aquatic microbial communities assemble? * Which members of the microbial trophic web are the key players in defining and maintaining community structure? * How do these trophic links change over time? * What is the role of spatial structure in regulating the community’s stability? * How do abiotic parameters regulate ecosystem functioning of microbial processes? * What types of association exist between prokaryotes and aquatic animals? Taught classes
* Microbiology (3rd semester)
* Microbial ecology of aquatic ecosystems (7th semester) * Applications of aquatic microorganisms (7th semester; elective course)
