    Research interests

    My research focus is study of the biodiversity and activity of microbial communities in northern high organic ecosystems, with different molecular methods and classical microbiology. Studies are done in the field, in controlled laboratory experiments and on pure cultures. Novel methods for isolation, cultivation and experimental studies of methane oxidizing bacteria are applied to address their importance as biological filter for methane in terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Our laboratory holds a unique culture collection of methane oxidizing bacteria.  

    I am the team leader for the Cold-loving Microbes in a Warming Arctic research group in CAGE Centre for Arctic Gas Hydrate, Environment and Climate (https://cage.uit.no/)
