The Department of Molecular Ecology headed by Rudolf Amann analyzes the diversity, composition, and function of marine microbial communities by applying and developing tools of molecular biology.
Techniques such as comparative sequence analysis including genomics and metagenomics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), confocal laser scanning microscopy and flow cytometry are used to study symbioses, bacterioplankton, and benthic microbial communities.
