In the oceans a great variety of organisms exist which have
developed a multitude of different strategies for adaptation and
survival. The sedentary nature of many marine organisms has led them
to produce a diversity of natural chemical compounds, synthesized for
their defense. Resent research has revealed that some of these
secondary metabolites possess a potential for pharmacological usage.
Within the BMBF priority program “Marine Natural Products
Research”, the multidisciplinary project BOSMAN – BOreal
Sponges-Sources of MArine Natural Products - has undertaken the task
of examining newly discovered compounds produced by marine porifera in
boreal habitates.

Cyanobacteria are able to synthesize a couple of metabolites of
toxicological concern. One of these cyanotoxins is cylindrospermopsin
(CYN), a hepatotoxic alkaloid. Beside of the liver, heart, kidney,
spleen, thymus and intestine are also affected. The first documented
incidence of human intoxication occurred on Palm Island (Australia) in
1979, where children and adults suffered from hepatoenteritis.
Cylindrospermopsin also occurred in German lakes.

The mutual relationship of the evolution of planets and life is
subject of the research alliance 'Planetary Evolution and Life'. Under
the administration of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and funded by
the
Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres (HGF) the alliance
connects different fields of research to investigate the possibility
of life on other celestial bodies. The Environmental Microbiology
Group takes part in the alliance within the topic 'Physics and Biology
of Interfacial Water'.

The project WellMa is a cooperation project with different partners
out of research and industry. Aim of the project is to explore the
processes and influencing variables of well clogging. Especially
geological and hydrochemical, as well as the structural and
operational conditions are of interest.

Floodplains belong to the most diverse and species rich ecosystems
in the world. They play an essential role in the processing and
decomposition of organic matter and in the self-purification ability
of rivers, largely due to the activity of bacteria.

Extracellular DNA in bacterial biofilms [11]

Umweltmikrobiologie
Recent scientific publications show that extracellular DNA (eDNA)
is more important in bacterial biofilms than previously thought. It
has been shown that eDNA, as a structural component of the EPS
(extracellular polymeric substances), makes an important contribution
to the stability of bacterial biofilms and that experimental removal
of the eDNA leads to altered biofilm morphologies. In recent years
several bacterial strains in which EPS filaments from extracellular
DNA could be detected have been isolated in the field of environmental
microbiology.

Gradient Organisms in Surface Water [17]
Gradient
organisms require determined concentration gradients for life that can
not be offered by classic culture methods in lab. Therefore,
enrichment of these organisms is difficult and limits further
investigations of their properties and their role in cycles of matter.
