研究领域

Microbial ecology, the interaction of microorganisms with their environment, is an essential component in understanding the functioning of the global ecosystem. Tom Fenchel, a leading Danish microbial ecologist, defined the aim of microbial ecology as "...to find principles that explain the structure and function of microbial communities." Only when these principles are understood will the full impact of microbial activity on the global ecosystem be apparent. Dr Purdy's research focuses on seeking principles that explain microbial ecology in two main areas: Understanding fundamental ideas in microbial ecology, particularly to do with the relationship between microbial community structure and function Studying communities involved in global biogeochemical cycling
