Nina Endt

Nina Endt is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology (MPIMM) in Bremen, Germany, where she is affiliated with the Department of Molecular Ecology led by Prof. Dr. Rudolf Amann. The MPIMM, founded in 1992, is part of the Biology & Medicine section of the Max Planck Society and focuses on researching microorganisms in oceans and other aquatic environments.

The Department of Molecular Ecology investigates the molecular secrets of marine microbes across various ecosystems. Their research spans from the open ocean to coastal permeable sediments and deep-sea hydrothermal vents, with a special focus on the North Sea and the Wadden Sea. The department employs molecular techniques to understand microbial diversity, function, and interactions in marine environments.

Dr. Endt's research interests include Marine Microbiology, Molecular Ecology, and Microbial Diversity. She studies both benthic (seafloor) and pelagic (open water) ecosystems, with particular attention to how marine microbes adapt to different environmental conditions. Her work contributes to understanding the role of microorganisms in global biogeochemical cycles and their responses to environmental changes.
