Research Interests
My main research interests concern sulfur-metabolism in the Bacteria. I am principally interested in the interplay between inorganic sulfur metabolism and heterotrophic growth: chemolithoheterotrophy, particularly in methylotrophs and methanotrophs. I am also interested in the metabolism of polysulfur species such as polysulfides (Sn2-), polythionates (SnO62-, n > 3) and polysulfanes (SnH2, n > 2).
Aside from sulfur-metabolism, I am interested in growth kinetic modelling in chemostat cultures grown on multiple carbon and energy sources and in the taxonomy and systematics of Bacteria.
