Dr Olga Golyshina focuses her research on hyperacidophilic microorganisms and their communities thriving at pH 0-2 and high metals' concentrations. She has isolated, characterised, and described a number of new genera and families of Thermoplasmatales, cell wall-deficient archaea with streamlined genomes and unusual metabolisms.

At the Centre for Environmental Biotechnology we offer a range of postgraduate projects on topics exemplified below

• Isolation and genomic analysis of extremely acidophilic archaea;
• Study of microbial “dark matter organisms” in extreme environments;
• Culture-independent (metagenomic) analysis of taxonomic composition and functional potential of microbial communities;
• Discovery of novel enzymes of industrial relevance from extremophilic microorganisms and their communities;
• Application of proteomics and metabolomics technologies to extremophilic organisms and data analysis.
