Research Interests

  • Role of µm-scaled phagotrophic protists in nitrogen cycling
  • Mutual relationships between prokaryotes and protists
  • Enrichment of microbial communities in continuous culture bioreactors

Figure1: Sediment sampling in the German Wadden Sea close to the island Sylt.

Figure2: A-D: Different enrichments of protists from marine tidal flat sediment. E: DNA stain (blue) and FISH stain (red) of a nanoflagellate. The nanoflagellate is embedded in an aggregate of bacteria. Compare upper right corner for light microscopy. All scale bars are 5 µm.
