Andreas Teske is Associate Professor in the Department of Marine
Sciences at the University of North Carolina. He studies microbial
ecology and systematics; in particular, he is interested in bacteria
and archaea of extreme marine environments, their natural diversity,
their environmental tolerance and physiology. His current projects
focus on the microbial community structure of hydrothermal vent
sediments and chimneys, and of deeply buried sediments in the central
oceanic basins and continental margins, using molecular and
cultivation approaches. Dr. Teske is also planning to expand his
research program towards physiology and ecology of uncultured
microorganisms, using biogeochemical methods (diagnostic biomarkers,
isotope studies) and genomic approaches, for example the analysis of
key genes of specific metabolic pathways, or sequencing of large
genome fragments from novel, uncultured microorganisms in extreme
environments."
