Nicolas Schröder

Nicolas Schröder is a Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen, Germany, affiliated with the Department of Symbiosis. His work focuses on microbiological and ecological interactions within marine environments, particularly involving chemosynthetic symbionts.

Mr. Schröder's research explores the evolutionary history of symbiotic relationships using comparative genomics. He studies Candidatus Thiosymbion, a sulphur-oxidizing gamma-proteobacterium, in both endosymbiotic and ectosymbiotic relationships with marine nematodes and oligochetes. His interests span animal-microbe interactions, marine ecology, co-evolution, and eukaryote-prokaryote-virus dynamics.

His publications highlight interdisciplinary work in microbiology, genomics, and ecological immunology. He is contactable via email at nschroed@mpi-bremen.de and contributes to the institute's research on microbial symbiosis and global carbon cycles.
