Welcome to the Department of Microbiology!

Dear Visitor,

Thank you very much for your interest in our Research and Education. It is our aim to discover the key microbial players in the Nitrogen, Sulfur and Methane cycles at the oxic/anoxic interface in various marine and freshwater ecosystems in close collaboration with complementary (inter)national experts from the Institute for Water and Wetland Research, the Centre for Wetland Ecology, the Darwin Center for Biogeology and  various marine institutes (NIOZ, MPI, IFREMER, USC). 
Most famous examples are the bacteria involved in anaerobic ammonium oxidation and nitrite dependent anaerobic methane oxidation.

Feel free to browse our pages, and I hope you enjoy our website and research.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information or want to give feedback.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Jetten
Chairman Microbiology
