Michael Zulch

I investigate the complex relationships between plants and microbes, focusing on the interactions between Arabidopsis thaliana and Bacillus subtilis. My research explores how the energy dynamics within plant environments influence microbial carrying capacity and ecological interactions. By integrating insights from synthetic biology, plant biology, and microbiology, my work seeks to uncover the broader implications of engineered microbes within plant ecosystems, contributing valuable knowledge to both theoretical foundations and practical applications in biological sciences.
