Butler, Barbara J - University of Waterloo

个人简介

Barbara Butler is interested in the way microorganisms function and interact with their surrounding habitat, whether the habitat is soil, water, the human body, or the food we eat. Her primary focus is teaching and she offers a broad range of courses in microbiology at the undergraduate level. microbial ecology environmental microbiology general microbiology fate and transport of organic contaminants in subsurface environments Canadian Society of Microbiologists American Society for Microbiology Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology Reviewer: Water, Air & Soil Pollution, Canadian Journal of Microbiology, FEMS Microbiology Letters, Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation, PLoS One, Applied Geochemistry, Canadian Geotechnical Journal 1985 PhD Microbiology, University of Waterloo 1980 MSc Microbiology, University of Waterloo 1977 BSc Biology, University of Waterloo

研究领域

Dr. Butler received her PhD in microbiology from the University of Waterloo in 1985. Thereafter she conducted research on aspects of microbial ecology, and the biodegradation of organic contaminants, particularly in groundwater and soil environments. She has also done some work in the realm of microbial physiology (enzymes, heat & cold stress proteins) and with chemolithotrophs (e.g., Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans).
