Microbial Physiology and membrane-lipid biosynthesis
My research focuses on the biosynthesis of membrane lipids in microbes; by combining classic microbiological cultivation (aerobic and anaerobic), biochemistry and molecular biology, I study the biosynthetic pathways of membrane lipids in bacteria.
Bacterial membranes change in response to environmental conditions and different types of stress. I investigate which factors change the lipid composition of bacteria-producing membrane-spanning (ether) lipids.
This year we are going to redesign and technically improve the NIOZ website. We would like to take your opinion as website visitor into account.
By answering 10 questions you can help us enormously! It will take you no longer than 4 minutes. You can win a NIOZ t-shirt and a book voucher to the value of EUR 25 if you fill in the questions.
Thank you for your help!
