Research Overview
The Mohn lab studies diverse topics in microbial ecology. We are elucidating bacterial degradation mechanisms for a range of organic compounds, including steroids and some pollutants. And, we are investigating how bacteria respond to and survive stresses common to their environments. Finally, we are studying the structure of complex microbial communities in soil, marine and gut environments, relating the composition of communities to the important ecological services they provide. This research has potential applications in environmental management and restoration, in medicine and in chemical manufacturing. For details, visit RESEARCH.
