Main interest is microbial ecology. Research focused at the microbial diversity and their roles in the metabolic of biogenic elements, such as carbon. We used the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene as the phylogenetic marker to investigate the microbial community structure, and the functional genes as markers to detect the role of chemoautotrophic microbes in the shallow water hydrothermal vents. The results indicated the importance of Epsiloproteobacteria in shallow vents as they do in the deep-sea hydrothermal vents. I also interested in the application of next generation sequencing methods in microbial study. Previously, Pyrosequencing was used to detect some special marker in high-throughput. Recently, the metagenomic is adapted to completely reflect the functional change in special environment.
