The Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology is located in Bremen, Germany. It was founded in 1992. [1] In 1996, the institute moved into new buildings at the campus of the University of Bremen. It is one of more than 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).
The main focus of our research is on the diversity and functions of marine microorganisms and their interactions with the marine environment.
The current managing director (as of January 1, 2025) is Prof. Dr. Rudolf Amann.
Currently, the institute consists of three departments with several associated research groups:
- Biogeochemistry (Marcel Kuypers)
- Biogeochemistry Group (Marcel Kuypers)
- Greenhouse Gases Research Group (Jana Milucka)
- Microbial Physiology Research Group (Boran Kartal)
- Molecular Ecology (Rudolf Amann)
- Molecular Ecology Group (Rudolf Amann)
- Flow Cytometry Research Group (Bernhard Fuchs)
- Symbiosis (Nicole Dubilier)
- Symbiosis Group (Nicole Dubilier)
- Metabolic Interactions research Group (Manuel Liebecke)
