Andreas Schramm is Professor of Microbiology at the Department of Biology, Aarhus University, Denmark. He is broadly interested in microbial ecophysiology and evolution, for example of microbe-host interactions, cable bacteria, and microbes involved in aquatic nitrogen cycling and sediment biogeochemistry. His current research focus is on the physiology and interactions of electrically conductive cable bacteria, the microbiomes of social spiders, and other invertebrate-microbe symbioses.
