Core offering

ICBM Terramare is an academic research institute conducting marine microbial ecology research with a focus on microbial communities in marine sponges, mussel population genetics, phytoplankton stoichiometry, and biotechnological applications of marine microorganisms. The Environmental Biochemistry working group delivers outputs through peer-reviewed publications, training of graduate students and post-docs, and participation in EU-funded research consortia such as BluePharmTrain. No commercial products or services are sold.

Product overview

This is an academic research site for Georg Steinert, a marine ecology and molecular biology researcher at the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) Terramare, University of Oldenburg. The site contains personal academic content including research projects, publications, tutorials on bioinformatics tools (MrBayes, RAxML, QIIME, mothur), gallery documentation, and educational materials. There are no commercial products or services offered. The site is a personal academic portfolio documenting sponge microbiome research, mussel population genetics, phytoplankton stoichiometry, and related marine biodiversity studies.

• Wageningen University Laboratory of Microbiology: Host institution for the Marie Curie fellowship and key collaborator on sponge microbiome research. Operates in overlapping marine microbial ecology and blue biotechnology space with similar molecular and bioinformatics methodology.
• Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology: Research institute focused on microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of marine environments, with similar use of 16S rRNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and cultivation of marine microorganisms. Highly comparable in scientific mission and methodology.
• MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences: University of Bremen research center focused on marine sciences including microbial ecology and biogeochemistry. Comparable in scope of marine molecular ecology research and access to research vessels and deep-sea sampling.

Broad incumbents

• GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel: One of Europe's largest marine research institutes, conducting research across oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, and marine biotechnology. Directly named as a collaboration partner in the data and is structurally similar as a publicly funded marine science institute in Germany.
• IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea): France's national marine research institute with broad mandate including marine biology, biotechnology, and oceanography. Comparable as a large European state-funded marine science organization with extensive expedition capability.
• Scripps Institution of Oceanography: One of the oldest and largest US marine research institutions with comparable research areas in marine microbial ecology, oceanography, and biological oceanography. Operates with similar interdisciplinary research model combining fieldwork and molecular analysis.
• Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research: Germany's primary polar and marine research institute with broad mandate across marine biology, biogeochemistry, and oceanography. Comparable as a publicly funded German marine research entity with similar deep-sea expedition capability (e.g., RV Sonne cooperation).

Regional players
