The hidden world

We work with a range of extremophilic microorganisms and their diversity; thermo-acidophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria, Archaea, halophiles, strict anaerobes and hyperstable enzymes from thermophiles with a potential for industrial applications. Physiological, genomic and molecular microbiology aspects are being studied.  We oten host foreign guest students and researchers, and possess a large and active international extremophiles network.  

We can offer Master's thesis projects in Microbiology and Molecular Biology
