Dagmar Wöbken

The research activities of the microbiologist Dagmar Wöbken focus on studying microorganisms in the soil, in particular so-called dormant organisms that are in some kind of resting state. Her ERC project "Revealing the function of dormant soil microorganisms and the cues for their awakening" aims at identifying the dormant organisms in the soil for selected processes and at revealing their involvement in the processes as well as the mechanisms that regulate their activity and dormancy.
