分子微生物学 (Microbiology)

The group has two dedicated room for molecular microbiology lab with a total space area of ca 60 m2. The lab is used for preparation, extraction, and isolation of DNA/RNA/proteins for molecular biology studies. Most of the work done in the lab, currently, is of DNA-based Stable isotope probe (DNA-SIP), as well as conventional culturing and separation of microbials.
