Research interests

Arun Madisetti

As a geomicrobiologist, I am interested in the link between organisms and ecosystem functioning. Recently, I focused on hydrothermal systems, investigating the microbial community using the reduced substances provided from below and how toxic substances, like arsenic, influence the microbial biodiversity and the expression of detoxification mechanism. To describe microbial communities and adaptations, I investigate their lipidome and I use stable isotope probing of lipids to investigate microbial functioning.
