Raaijmakers Group The overall goal of our research program is to unravel 1) mechanisms involved in the assembly of plant microbiomes. The functions of microbiomes we study
Zwart group Microbes evolve rapidly, making it difficult to study their ecology without considering their evolution. At the same time, microbes interact with each
Bodelier Group Rationale Microbial communities are at the very basis of life on earth, catalyzing biogeochemical reactions driving global nutrient cycles. Thereby,
De Boer Group Bacteria and fungi are two key groups of micro-organisms in soils. Their activities are essential for carbon and mineral cycling and plant performance.
Garbeva Group In the last years my research has been oriented towards understanding inter-specific bacterial competitive interactions and the role of these
Kuramae Group The goal of my research is to understand soil microbiome interactions at community (taxonomical and functional) level for soil functioning. I also focus
