We are a working group of Marine Microbial Ecologists (MMEco) at Gothenburg university. Generally, we study the microbes of the sea. How do they adapt to changes in the ecosystem and at which rates? How do they interact with other microbial organisms? How do communities change in space and time? Which roles and functions do these microbes have in the ocean? To learn about the organisms, we use lab and field experiments and join research expeditions where we extract DNA from the environment and measure rates of different chemical reactions that are performed by microbes. We analyse microbial datasets, mostly amplicon data, but some datasets in the future might include metagenomics or transcriptomics.
