Research Interests:
Ecology of viruses, prokaryotes
and microbial eukaryotes in marine and estuarine environments. Monitoring
the influence of environmental conditions on microbial gene regulation. Linking
gene regulation to microbial processes such as C or N fluxes. Investigating
the activity of viruses across salinity and pH gradients. Comparison
of freshwater, estuarine, coastal and pelagic microbial populations
and functions to determine various regulatory mechanisms on population
composition and overall population function.
