Here at Naturalis, my project unravels the "hidden biodiversity" of bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, and bryophytes in urban environments. We aim to investigate the taxonomic and functional diversity of these organisms, along with their subsequent impact on urban habitats. Additionally, I am planning to further develop my research on the ecological role of mobile genetic elements in microbiome adaptation to environmental stressors in urban ecosystems.
