Biography

Kesava Priyan Ramasamy investigates the genetic functional adaptation of bacteria as they utilize carbon substrates. His research focuses on how bacteria use their metabolic machinery to degrade substrates, particularly those derived from terrestrial compounds. His findings will contribute significantly to understanding the effects of climate change on bacterial metabolic adaptation. In addition, he studies bacterial community composition in macrophytes using an environmental DNA (eDNA) approach. He is a member of the EcoChange research group, which looks into marine ecology and the impact of environmental changes on coastal microorganisms.
