The knowledge explosion in environmental microbiology offers new opportunities in biotechnology

摘要

Dave Stahl is currently a Professor in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Microbiology at the University of Washington. His laboratory helped develop the conceptual framework, based on comparative nucleic acid sequencing, now commonly used to study the abundance, distribution and activities of microbes in the environment. He continues to work in several areas of applied and basic environmental microbiology, emphasizing sulfur and nitrogen transformation in natural and engineered systems.
