Afdeling Microbiële Ecologie
Micro-organismen herbergen enorm veel, nog grotendeels onbekende stoffen en eigenschappen. Een schatkist voor de onderzoekers van de afdeling Microbiële Ecologie.
| Screening the effect of beneficial microbes against soil-borne pathogens | The root microbiome comprises a vast number of microorganisms colonising the host plant belowground. These microbes can have different effects on plant growth and health, mediating nutrients acquisition, influencing plant biochemical pathways, inhibiting soil-borne pathogens. In this project, we...Read more |
| Breeding soil microbiome to promote plant growth | To increase the sustainability of agriculture, we need the help of soil microbiota, especially the microbes that promote the plant growth. Current techniques for detection of growth promotion microbes focused mainly on unique, isolated microbes. This approach is not only laborious but very limited...Read more |
| MSc project: Reproductive microbiome of house sparrows | Suitable for MSc thesis, at least six months. General background Animals live and evolve in a microbial world. Thus, it is hardly surprising that every animal hosts a diversity of microbial communities (i.e. microbiomes) in and on their bodies. Importantly, microbiomes are emerging as fundamental...Read more |
| Emerging trends in Ecological Meta-analysis with the increased availability of datasets | NIOO is one of the largest institutes within the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). With four departments – Animal, Aquatic, Microbial, and Terrestrial Ecology – NIOO leads top-quality interdisciplinary research. NIOO is situated opposite the Wageningen UR campus. See more at...Read more |
| Internships at the department of Microbial Ecology | Onderzoek verandert doorlopend: onderzoeksprojecten worden afgesloten en nieuwe gestart. Voor je het weet is een webpagina met stage-onderwerpen dan ook al weer gedateerd. Daarom geven we hier in algemene lijnen aan, welke stages je bij onze afdeling kunt doen en wat je daarbij aan faciliteiten en...Read more |
