Jan von Arx

Jan von Arx is a Researcher leading the Greenhouse Gases Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany. His work focuses on microbial-driven processes in aquatic environments, particularly aerobic methane formation from methylphosphonate and nitrous oxide dynamics in oxygen minimum zones. He employs stable isotope incubation experiments and molecular techniques to study biogeochemical cycles.

Research interests include the role of microorganisms in global climate systems, denitrification mechanisms in Foraminifera, and quantification of biogeochemical parameters. His group contributes to understanding how microbial activity influences greenhouse gas emissions and oceanic nutrient cycling.
