I am a biologist who is majoring in Microbiology. My research area to date mainly focuses on microbe-microbe interactions in multispecies biofilms and their impacts of bacterial community on hosts, such as plants. My current research is to investigate impacts of bacterial interspecific interactions and multispecies biofilms on host growth and tolerance to environmental stresses (e.g., drought), and apply 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (NGS) and confocal microscopy (FISH-CLSM) to analyze species composition and spatial organization of multispecies biofilms.
Furthermore, I am also interested in investigating microbial metabolic interactions among diverse species in the multispecies community/biofilm via bioinfomatic approaches, such as Genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) reconstruction and simulations, which predicts possible mechanisms of interspecific interactions in a microbial community. Then, I try to verify their interactions via molecular experiments in the lab.
