Summary
The aim of this project is to learn and adapt novel methods that can solve two main challenges in my research field on fish microbiomes. These methods tackle existing challenges for extracting high quality microbial DNA as well as the ability to study anaerobic gut bacteria. At CMR (Australia) I will learn these methods enabling me to pioneer my research field of understanding fish microbiomes.
