AboutAbout the lab
Exploring Earth's environment through invisible microbes
Associate Professor Jun Uetake studies how microbial communities are involved in material cycles and global environmental change.
Invisible to the eye, microbes live not only in soil and rivers but also in seemingly lifeless environments such as the air and snow cover.
The research combines field work with genetic experiments and chemical analysis in the laboratory.
Associate Professor Uetake is affiliated with the Hiyama Research Forest and Tomakomai Research Forest of the Field Science Center for Northern Biosphere.
Key terms
- Microbial community
- An assemblage of many kinds of microbes living in the same environment
- Material cycles
- The movement of substances such as carbon and nitrogen as they circulate among living things, soil, water, and the atmosphere
ResearchResearch themes
The research focuses on material cycles and global environmental change driven by microbial communities. Through field surveys and experiments, it aims to clarify where microbes are distributed and how they affect the environment.
