Hatzenpichler Environmental Microbiology Lab
99% of microbes cannot be grown in the lab. We seek to understand what this "uncultured majority" is doing and how its activity shapes Earth's biogeochemical cycles and life on our planet.
If you are a highly motivated prospective grad student or postdoc candidate, please contact Roland by email. Prospective graduate students interested in microbiology, astrobiology, ecology, molecular biology, and biochemistry are encouraged to apply to both the Chem-Biochem and Molecular Biosciences Program.
Apr 6, New preprint: Culexarchaeia, a novel archaeal class of anaerobic generalists inhabiting geothermal environments. Anthony discovered a new class of thermophilic archaea that, besides being generalists, have the potential for anaerobic methylotrophy. Preprint PDF SOI
Mar 31, New preprint: George's first manuscript Correlative SIP-FISH-SEM-Raman-NanoSIMS links identity, morphology, biochemistry, and physiology of environmental microbes. Multimodal microscopy all on the same cell!
Jan 3, Roland is elected to the User Executive Committee
of the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI)
