Background
Summary
Contribution to development of microbial growth theory (kinetics and stoichiometry of microbial growth, systems biology) and its implementation to biotechnology and environmental science.
- Biofuel: cellulosic fermentation control (on-line, off-line, biomass and products sensors, optimization, strains selection and directed evolution)
- Anaerobic processes (methanogenesis, fermentations, low and high temperature, waste treatment)
- Environmental toxicology (heavy metals, organic pollutants, N-deposition survey, evaluaiton and prediction of direct and side effects)
- Soil, aquatic and human microbiome (isoaltion and characterization of novel species, recovery of uncultivable stressed forms, physiologcal mechanisms of dormancy and stress)
- Mathematical modeling of bioprocesses.
Specialties:Microbiology, biotechnology, biofuel, biogeochemistry, global changes, human microbiome
