Assistant Professor, Animal Sciences

Follow Me:

Interests/expertise: Dietary fiber structure influences on microbiome structure and function, microbiome influences on host health, division of labor in microbial communities (especially with respect to polysaccharide consumption), microbial ecology theory, species-resolved metagenomics and genome-enabled ‘omics approaches to microbiomes

Stephen Lindemann

Associate Professor, Food and Nutrition Sciences

Follow Me:

Interests/expertise: Basic, molecular biology and ‘omic techniques are used to gain a better understanding of the adaptation of environmental microorganisms to perturbed ecosystems. Microbial analyses range from examination of the entire community to the identification and tracking of specific bacteria and genes. Perturbed ecosystems currently being studied are human/animal guts, stream and lake water exposed to urban and rural inputs, and agricultural fields subjected to different agronomic practices.
