Center for Microbial Ecology

CME scientists are internationally recognized for their research on how communities of microorganisms interact and how these interactions can be controlled and changed for practical purposes, such as cleaning up toxic spills and other pollution. Microbial communities also can be harnessed to do bioeconomy work, such as converting cellulose into more easily fermentable sugars or producing methane from coal beds.
