Environmental Microbiology
Environmental microbiology is a diverse discipline that ranges from the study of pathogens in drinking water to the critical relationship between microbes and geochemistry. Microbes are intimately involved in the transport, transformation and cycling of many different elements and chemical compounds, including pollutants. Learning and understanding these processes can allow us to use microbes, for example, to clean up environmental hazards such as oil spills and to create new products through biotechnology. The discipline of environmental microbiology encompasses some of the most fundamental principles of hygiene and sanitation to our use of the most advanced molecular tools to identify unknown organisms in our environment.
The environmental microbiology research programs at MSU provide world-class training opportunities for graduate students interested in solving future problems.
