Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse
External linkThe aim of the Cluster of Excellence is to explore the dynamic balances of microbial communities from the molecular level to complex ecosystems.
Here you can find a selection of ongoing coordinated research projects and networks involving the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences.
