Our mission

The mission of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Terrestrial Microbiology is to understand how microorganisms function at the molecular, cellular, and community levels. In particular, we aim to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the metabolic diversity of microorganisms, their ability to adapt and differentiate in response to changes in the environment, the mechanisms involved in cell cycle regulation and cell polarity, as well as the biogeochemical processes involved in the exchange of climatically relevant trace gases. These analyses include all levels of microbial functions from the atomic/structural, molecular/cellular, and biochemical/physiological to the microbial community level as well as plant-microbe interactions.

The research areas covered at the MPI include:

Cellular microbiology Molecular microbiology Microbial biochemistry Biogeochemistry Microbial ecology Environmental genomics Microbial symbiosis Fungal biodiversity Pathogen evolution Plant-microbe interactions Plant pathogens Synthetic biology Systems biology

 Research at the MPI is carried out in four departments. In addition, the institute hosts four Max Planck Research Groups, an Emeritus Group, and two Max Planck Fellows.  The directors of the departments, Prof. Dr. Ralf Conrad (Department of Biogeochemistry), Prof. Dr. Regine Kahmann (Department of Organismic Interactions), Prof. Lotte Søgaard-Andersen (Department of Ecophysiology), and Prof. Dr. Victor Sourjik (Department of Systems and Synthetic Microbiology) are scientific members of the Max Planck Society. The Managing Director of the Institute is currently Prof. Ralf Conrad.
