Mertcan Esti

Mertcan Esti is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, affiliated with the Department of Biogeochemistry. His research focuses on marine nitrogen fixation, novel nitrogen-fixing microorganisms, and microbial processes in marine ecosystems. He employs molecular techniques and stable isotope incubations to study diazotrophs and their environmental roles.

His work contributes to understanding nutrient cycles, particularly in oceanic and coastal environments, with implications for global biogeochemical dynamics. Collaborations within the institute and international projects highlight his role in advancing microbial ecology and marine science.
