My group's interest is understanding interactions microbial communities and particularly assembly in the phosphorus-limited ecosystem in ponds at Cuatro Cienegas, Coahuila. We use methods that range from classical microbiology to genomics and transcriptomics. Our synthetic ecology approach includes a set of well-characterized strains used as a sampling pool to evaluate neutral and deterministic models. We also study ecology and genomic plasticity in strains from the genus Bacillus.
