Lynn M. Hildemann Associate Professor Environmental Engineering and Science ? Alfred M. Spormann Associate Professor Environmental Engineering and Science , a microbial physiologist and biochemist. He received his Ph.D. from the Philipps-University, Marburg, ;Our laboratory studies the molecular interactions of microbes and microbial communities in complex environments such as in biofilms. Microbial biofilms are environments where microbes express complex patterns of metabolic and genetic interactions. Consumption of and competition for nutrients as well as signaling and other interactions between biofilm microbes create a highly heterogeneous and dynamically changing environment that varies on a micrometer scale. Microbes respond to such dynamic changes by coordinated physiological but also by genetic and genomic adaptations, thus giving rise to a tissue-like, functional compartmentalization. Our research on molecular microbial interactions is focused on the 1. Genetic and metabolic control of cell attachment, biofilm maturation, and detachment, 2. Genetic and metabolic control of microbe-mineral and microbe-microbe interactions, 3. Evolution of single species and co-evolution of microbial communities in biofilms, 4. Molecular basis controlling stability, resilience and invasibility of biofilms. The studies are conducted with three model microbes Shewanella oneidensis, Vibrio cholerae, and Caulobacter crescentus as well as with natural microbial isol
