Assistant Professor Aquatic Microbial Ecology

Faculty of Science UvA

Susanne Wilken is interested in the complex microbial interactions that drive biogeochemical cycles in lakes and oceans. She is particularly fascinated by organisms that combine a ‘plant-like’ with an ‘animal-like’ lifestyle, as these mixotrophs can take contrasting ecosystem functions depending on environmental conditions.
