Research
in the Wilhelm lab focuses on the interactions of microbial communities
with the environment and in turn how the environment shapes microbial
communities. Scientists at all levels work to
resolve the synergies between microbial communities and
biogeochemical cycles in lakes and ocean systems around the globe. Lab members use biomolecular
tools - DNA and RNA sequencing, metabolomics, and PCR-based quantitative
analyses - to study viruses, bacteria, cyanobacteria and algae.
Currently the laboratory has a specific focus on virus ecology, toxic
cyanobacterial blooms and the development of quantitative molecular
tools for microbial ecology.
