In this project, the impact of viruses on metabolic transformation of bacteria will be investigated, both regarding metabolic changes driven by community composition changes and gained resistances as well as how phages change transcriptional responses during infection. This will be investigated using both isolated phage-host model systems, large-scale community experiments, and long-term community field sampling data. As a PhD student in this project, the candidate will work with microbial and molecular experimental methods, including stable isotope labelling, as well as bioinformatic analyses of genomes, metagenomes, and transcriptomes.
