The research of Dr. Bastian Molitor is mainly focused in microbes that thrive in the complete absence of oxygen (anaerobes), and that feed on gases such as hydrogen and carbon dioxide as substrates for growth. These microbes can be found in many natural and man-made environments, in the digestive tract of animals and humans, as well as in anaerobic digesters, where they encounter interactions with other microbes and get infected by microbial viruses.
