The All Things Microbial Group is a collection of talented scientists and engineers with a multitude of experiences. We have varied backgrounds in life and in education. To us, this brings strength to what we share--an interest in figuring out some component(s) of information about the microbial world.
Some of us work on the microbiota associated with engineered systems for
water and wastewater treatment. Some, on the diversity of microbial life
and their novel enzymes in Yellowstone National Park hotsprings. Others,
on the complexity of microbial life in 6 cm thick microbial mats from Guerrero
Negro, Baja California Sur. Some, on how to stimulate energy production
for renewable energy use. And others, on the development of robotic explorers
to sample and better understand microbial ecosystems that have forever been
out of reach to human understanding. We work and collaborate with people
across the CSM campus, the State and University of Colorado systems, other
universities around the USA and the world; and local, state and federal agencies.
We do microbial based research and collaborate with people in locations
around the world.
