What CUALITY is about?

In this project we will initiate a new collaboration to synergistically develop and establish a platform that will enable us to study adaptation strategies of ubiquitous freshwater microbes to exposure to excess nutrients (i.e. eutrophication). To achieve this, we will leverage the exceptional expertise of the Korean team in isolating and maintaining sustainable cultures of oligotrophic freshwater bacteria and capitalize on the extensive knowledge of the Swedish team in single cell isolation, genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics analyses as well as lake ecosystem ecology.
