We use modern mass-spectrometry methods to understand which molecules are involved in marine host-microbe systems, how different metabolites shape ecological communities, and how the symbiotic partners respond metabolically to environmental changes.
The research in this lab is constantly driven by method developments like high-resolution mass-spectrometry imaging to reveal the spatial metabolome of microbial systems. Our expertise is microbial metabolomics with a special focus on marine systems.
Hello everyone!
My name is Jana and I will be working on the sea4soCiety project to better understand the role of metabolites in carbon sequestration within coastal environments. Previously, my research focused on the interaction between organic matter and metals in aquatic systems. I am particu...
Grace D'Angelo presented her poster entitled, 'Exploring Carbon Cycling in Complex Microbial Communities with Metaproteome-derived Stable Isotope Fingerprints' at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference. This project and poster are part of collaborative work with the Kleiner ...
Developing innovative and socially accepted approaches to improve the natural potential for carbon storage in vegetation-rich coastal ecosystems: that is the goal of the new research consortiumsea4soCiety, in which the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in...
We congratulate Dr. Dolma Michellod on the successful defense of her PhD thesis entitled, "Investigating the lipid profile of animal-microbe symbioses."
A new laser ion source was installed in our lab. With the brand new AP-SMALDI-5AF we are able to do routine measurements at spatial resolution down to 5 µm. Additionally we increase measurement speed and sample throughput up to ten fold if a lower mass resolution is acceptable.
