Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria abundance and diversity in response to climate change part of CUREnet:CURE Collection
This CURE engages student in hypothesis-driven research to investigate how seasonal climate affects microbial diversity, particularly Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) communities found in environmental samples such as soil and water. The course focus on NTM diversity and physiology and its relationship with climate. Students are also introduced to climate change and how it may affect microbial diversity and abundance with implications to human health.
