Detalle de: Structure, Dynamics and Function of Bacterial Genomes

Title Structure, Dynamics and Function of Bacterial Genomes
Description

[EN] The group's main objective is to gain basic and applied knowledge on the beneficial interactions between plants and microorganisms of interest in agriculture and forestry. To achieve this general objective, the group is focusing on the ecology of rhizosphere microorganisms and their use in the recovery of degraded soils, as well as on the genomic analysis of soil microbial communities; on the development of the functional genomics of microorganisms and plants using Group II introns as highly-efficient mutagenic tools, and finally, on the applications of genomic technology to study rhizosphere colonization and the characterization of new RNA regulators in symbiotic microorganisms.

[ES] El objetivo general del grupo de investigación es el de obtener conocimientos básicos y aplicados sobre las interacciones beneficiosas entre plantas y microorganismos de interés en sistemas agrícolas y forestales. Para la consecución de este objetivo general, el grupo focaliza sus líneas de investigación en la ecología de microorganismos rizosféricos y la utilización de éstos en la recuperación de suelos degradados, en el análisis genómico de comunidades microbianas del suelo, en la contribución al desarrollo de genómica funcional de microorganismos y plantas mediante el uso de intrones del grupo II como herramientas de mutagénesis de alto rendimiento y finalmente, en la aplicación de la tecnología genómica para el estudio de la colonización rizosférica y la caracterización de nuevos ARNs reguladores en microorganismos simbióticos.
