Åke Hagström

Åke Hagström is a Professor at Linnaeus University, affiliated with the Linnaeus University Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial Model Systems (EEMiS). His research focuses on marine microbial ecology, particularly bacterial community dynamics, nutrient cycling, and ecological modeling.

Research interests include studying interactions between marine bacteria, plankton, and nutrient cycles, with emphasis on carbon and nitrogen dynamics. He has extensively investigated bacterial growth patterns, seasonal succession, and the impact of environmental disturbances on microbial communities.

His recent publications explore bacterial species succession, membrane transporter seasonality, and functional tradeoffs in microbial communities. These works span disciplines such as marine microbiology, ecological modeling, and biogeochemistry, often utilizing 16S rRNA and nitrogenase gene analyses.
