Environmental Molecular Microbiology Group

Environmental Molecular Microbiology Group

Leader: Prof. Dr. Habil. Banciu Horia

  • Investigating the diversity and ecological roles of microbial communities in hypersaline lakes through conventional and molecular microbiology approaches

  • Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the adaptation of halophilic microorganisms to the stress induced by salts and metals;

  • Investigation of extreme environments (saline aquatic ecosystems, cave ecosystems) for microorganisms with metabolic capacity with application potential

  • Exploring the potential of halophilic microorganisms to produce bioplastic.
