Research
Currently I am working with microbial mat samples from an Oregon Hot
Spring environment, isolating genomic DNA and performing T-RFLP analysis
of 16s rRNA, as well as sequencing of this DNA region. Our goal is
to obtain an estimation of the numbers and kinds of bacteria, which make
up the community in those spring environments and what are the factors
that influence them. This work is embedded in the work of a group of
researches from various Departments and Institutions covering the
disciplines of Biology, Geology and Geochemistry. |
