Marine environments are under growing pressure from antibiotics, sourced from wastewater treatment plants or aquaculture farms, for example. Antibiotics can inhibit the role that microorganisms play in catalysing essential processes in the marine nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation or nitrification. Alongside organisation partner, Cefas, I hope to gain a firm understanding of how antibiotics impact these ecosystem functions for effective regulation of pollutants and protection of marine ecosystem health and water quality.

例如，从废水处理厂或水产养殖场提出的抗生素的压力越来越大。抗生素可以抑制微生物在海洋氮循环中催化基本过程中所起的作用，例如氮固定或硝化。与组织合作伙伴CEFA一起，我希望对抗生素如何影响这些生态系统功能有效调节污染物和保护海洋生态系统健康和水质的保护。
