Principal investigators within this theme work on understanding the role of the microbiome in the environment.

The theme focusses on how bacterial communities interact with their environment, the latter including animals, plants, fungi and whole ecosystems, using evolutionary biology and experimental data to characterise how these communities react to major disruptions, for example, pollution or climate change.
