Scientific interests

My PhD thesis aims to study the bacterial community associated to Emiliania huxleyi.  I will focus on the bacterial diversity associated with E. huxleyi in cultures and in marine environments, and more specifically, in the metabolic and genomic basis of their interactions. For this I will apply classical cultivation techniques combined with metabarcoding, metabolomics and transcriptomics. The complementarity of approaches will provide valuable information about structure, dynamics and evolution of E. huxleyi-bacteria interactions.
