The earth’s carbon record is a potential chronicle of biogeosphere evolution. Understanding how the earth and the life on it have influenced one another will help estimate how the biogeosphere will react to new natural and anthropogenic pressures. Anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria are studied as one of the earliest organisms due to their phylogenic antiquity and ability to metabolize iron and sulfu ...

"Our project is called OXYGEN. Our aim is to develop and use cutting-edge high-sensitivity oxygen detection systems to explore how oxygen regulates the metabolism of aerobic and anaerobic organisms in experimental systems and in nature. We will explore and understand the complex structure of low oxygen ecosystems on the present Earth, and the evolution of these ecosystems through time in the fac ...
