Collaborative Research Centre 1182
From protists to humans, all animals and plants are inhabited by microbial organisms. There is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence fitness of their plant and animal hosts, ultimately forming a metaorganism consisting of a uni- or multicellular host and a community of associated microorganisms.
Recent Highlights
German Research Foundation continues to fund the CRC 1182 at Kiel University in a third funding phase
Four more years of metaorganism research in Kiel
