The main purpose is to seek the optimization of molecular tools for field application,
researching all available sequences properly – the true diversity etc. At first, it will start with
venturing all current databases and evaluate them properly – and based on this, update and
improve current biomarkers for different key organisms (dechlorinators, metal reducers and
relevant associates). Once that is done, it will test them in the lab – and then finally, go out to
the field and do bigger studies (in collaboration with other research labs).
In addition to this, she will participate in lectures and laboratory practices in our international
course on molecular tools for in situ detection of microbial structure and function. While this
all is good, several practical things first have to be available: (1) availability to environmental
field system or pure cultures; (2) tools to study the chemical degradation kinetics; and (3)
tools to study the bacteria (including cultivation, molecular tools etc.).
