Lanthanide Utilization in Bacteria
Lanthanides (“rare earth elements”) are key resources for our modern way of living. We aim at learning more about how microbes interact with them.
Mission
We focus on the role of microbes that are driving the Earth's biogeochemical cycles. Here microbes are also involved in mediating mineral precipitation and dissolution, and sorbing organic matter. Our research encompasses biodiversity, microbial interactions, climate change mitigation, mining, and the deep biosphere.
