Carlotta Kück

Carlotta Kück is a Researcher affiliated with the Department of Biogeochemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany. Her research focuses on microbial symbiosis, nitrogen cycling, and metabolic flexibility in marine environments. She contributes to understanding how chemosynthetic symbionts adapt to fluctuating environmental conditions, particularly in upwelling regions and symbiotic associations with marine invertebrates.

Her work combines genomic and transcriptomic approaches to decode microbial adaptations, bridging molecular mechanisms with ecological outcomes. Current projects investigate nitrogen availability impacts on symbiont ecology and the potential of secondary metabolites in marine symbioses.

Carlotta’s affiliations include the Celsiusstr. 1 institute, where she collaborates with the department’s focus on ocean element cycling. No specific grants or awards are explicitly noted in the provided texts, though her publications reflect active engagement in microbial ecology and biogeochemistry.
