Project

Interactions and influences between the Methylobacterium communities of the phyllopshere and the host plant Arabidopsis thaliana
We are interested in the relationship between a diversified leaf microbiome and the host plant. We wish to determine how Methylobacterium influences the productivity of its host plant, by looking at changes in its metabolism.
