    Ir. Agata Pijl graduated as a biotechnology technician in 1992 at the Hogeschool Rotterdam e.o. After this she studied biology at WageningenUR and graduated in 1995. She started working at the NIOO in 2000 for the Department of Microbial Ecology and also in 2003 for the Department of Animal Ecology. Here work now involves all kind of moleculair techniques in the projects of Eiko Kuramae, Marcel Visser and Mark Zwart.

     

     

    Visser Group
    The research in the Visser Group focuses on seasonal timing of growth and reproduction. We aim to understand the causes of variation in timing and the...Read more
    Zwart group
    Microbes evolve rapidly, making it difficult to study their ecology without considering their evolution. At the same time, microbes interact with each other,...Read more

    The goal of my research is to understand soil microbiome interactions at community (taxonomical and functional) level for soil functioning. I also focus my...Read more
    Greenhouse gas emissions (N2O, CO2 and CH4) from soil with sugarcane production and impact on microbial community structure and function
    Sugarcane crops in Brazil grow with less nitrogen fertilizers than other biofuel crops, resulting into lower levels of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. However, there is lack of real measurements of GHG emissions associated with the production ethanol. In addition, there is a lack of...Read more
    Ecology of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in natural grassland soils showing repressed nitrification
    Ammonia oxidation is repressed by a natural vegetation of matgrass sward plants. The project aims at unraveling the underlying mechanisms by studying the behavior of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in the rhizosphere.Read more
    Harnessing the rhizosphere microbiome to enhance plant productivity
    High biomass production of sugarcane needs input of mineral fertilizers in soil. However, since Brazilian sugarcane production technology aims at a sustainable management by recycling straw and vinasse (byproduct of ethanol industry), less mineral fertilizers can be added to soil. In addition,...Read more
    Impacts of land use and of the Babassu palm on microbial community composition and function and on soil quality in Maranhão State, eastern periphery of Amazonia
    Research is a the interface between traditional ecology (vegetation, soil physico-chemistry, macro fauna and meso fauna) and molecular soil microbial ecology (soil and rhizosphere microbiomes, environmental genomics/post-genomics) and focuses on (i) plant:soil interactions in agroforestry and...Read more
    Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic of Acidobacteria from Cerrado Biome
    The main aim of this project is the fundamental understanding of Acidobacteria physiology for the production of hydrolytic enzymes for industrial processes. The genomes of different Acidobacteria subdivisions will be sequenced, cultivated in different amended media, and the transcriptome and...Read more
    Microbial Networks in control of greenhouse gases emissions in Bio-based agriculture-MiniBag
    There is a substantial data on the relation between the activity of individual microbial species and of communities on the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs). However, the understanding of the interactive networks operating in soil and the impact of bio-based agricultural practices thereon is...Read more
    Evolutionary responses to a warming world: physiological genomics of seasonal timing
    The world is seasonal and organisms’ adjustment of their seasonal timing to this environmental variation is crucial for their fitness. Climate change is strongly impacting seasonal timing which makes a better understanding of the potential for micro-evolution of timing in natural populations...Read more
