Research Interests

Motivation the functions of microbial community in the bioprocess, food chain, aquaculture and ecosystem. Dealing with microbial process of marine water and land-based products and residues.

(1) Initiator of intelligent micro-ecosystem. The application of Marine microbial community organization and structure analysis technology to study the role of beneficial microorganisms in marine microecosystem and the food chain at the seedling stage of marine culture

(2) Marine microbial flora research, with microbial fingerprint, fluorescence in situ hybridization, flow cytometry and high-throughput sequencing and functional gene analysis technology.

(3) The enrichment culture and isolation and identification techniques of potential beneficial bacteria and develop of probiotic products.

Field Experience

Application of novel probiotics in aquaculture, including fish, shrimp, sea cucumber and algae culture. Lab research results the “Intelligence Microbial Ecosystem” which was implanted in the operating of probiotic production plants, nitrification reactors and live feed and recirculating aquaculture system. Field experience includes the application of functional microbial communities for the health of domestic animals, and waste water and solid waste treatments, and re-utilize by-products of vegetable processing. Lab is working closely with industrial partners, resulted the novel brand ‘BePro®’, Lab members are leading the group of scientific diving and underwater bio-survey both for education and scientific research.
