Our scientific efforts are focused on applying cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches to interrogate metabolic traits and functions of organisms—and microbial communities—in both engineered and natural ecosystems. We aim to address pressing questions related to sustainable biofuel production, biogeochemical cycling, and human health.
Deutschbauer is an expert in microbial genomics and has developed widely-used tools to investigate less-studied bacteria important for multiple applications, including promoting plant growth and improving human health.
