Two postdoc positions on the ecology and physiology of microbial key players exposed to oxygen deple...
The successful candidates will study the physiology and ecology of microbial key players in global element cycles exposed to oxygen depletion. Aquatic oxygen-depleted environments are hotspots of microbial activity, including microbial processes that are sources or sinks of greenhouse gases. For example, aerobic methanotrophic and ammonia-oxidizing microbes are frequently found in such oxygen-deficient environments, even though they require molecular oxygen for their metabolism. While ammonia-oxidizers can produce traces of oxygen in the dark via nitric oxide dismutation themselves, aerobic methanotrophs rely on an external source of oxygen. However, their lower limits and adaptations regarding oxygen requirements are largely unknown.
Postdoc of plant antinutrients and protein quality
The position is anchored in two research projects focusing on the nutritional quality of proteins from lupins and rapeseed protein ingredients.
