Your position

The research focus of this project is to uncover the genetic basis and how the maize root bacteria cooperate in metabolizing root exudates, in particular with the maize exuded bioactive benzoxazinoids. Your main research focus is to develop a novel methodology to build, index and screen mutant libraries of bacteria and thereby to decode the genetic framework of benzoxazinoid metabolism. This work is accompanied by a closely related postdoctoral project investigating metabolic cooperation of maize root bacteria using synthetic community experiments.
