Research Interests
Our environmental microbiology research concerns the ability of bacteria to adapt to different environments. An excellent model for this adaptation is the fate and effects of xenobiotic compounds. While our work on xenobiotic compounds has included work from soil bioremediation and groundwater treatment to degradation pathways, much of our current microbial ecology research is on the perturbations of microbial communities and the adaptation of microorganisms to xenobiotic compounds (either by mutation, gene transfer or gene shuffling). In addition, within gene transfer, our current research also includes the fate of DNA from transgenic plants – its movement, degradation and potential transfer to bacteria.
Our environmental genomics (mostly metagenomics) involves exploring the functional and structural relationships between the environmental genetic resources within a given ecosystem (currently: polluted soil (chlorinated compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons, microbial fuel cells) and bacterial adaptation and evolution. High throughput techniques, such as microarrays and “next generation sequencing”, are used to produce data that supports relevant hypotheses.
Our environmental bioengineering work centers around the biodegradation of contaminants in the subsurface and the applications of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Modeling is an important aspect of this work along with the application of modern molecular biology methods.
