معرفی
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Streit is a faculty member at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences and serving as Head of the Department of Biology's Microbiology & Biotechnology group. His research spans environmental microbiology, biopolymer degradation, and microbial community dynamics.
- Institutional Affiliation: University of Hamburg, Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Natural Sciences, Department of Biology, Institute of Plant Sciences and Microbiology
- Research Focus: Estuarine carbon cycling, synthetic polymer degradation, root-microbe interactions
Key research areas include microbial degradation of plant litter along salinity gradients, thermophilic PET hydrolases for plastic recycling, and Bacteroidota carbohydrate-binding proteins. His work addresses both fundamental microbial ecology and applied biotechnology solutions.
Publications demonstrate expertise in metagenomics, transcriptomics, and enzyme characterization across marine and wetland ecosystems. Current projects examine climate change impacts on decomposition dynamics and microbial bioremediation strategies.
Teaching & Collaboration: Leads research group at Ohnhorststrasse 18, mentoring doctoral researchers like Samantha Klein and Pablo Pérez-García. Hosts laboratory at the Otto Warburg House with technical team including Inka Sievers-Helling.
