Overview
Ecophysiology Group
The ecophysiology group studies the metabolic activity of bacteria, which are important for the ecology of the ocean. A special focus is on those physiological processes, which may be of larger importance for the nitrogen and the phosphorus cycle. One major priority of the group is the enrichment and cultivation of large sulfur bacteria, which are able to store nitrate and phosphate.
