“A Look
Under the Digital Microscope: Using Amplicon Metagenomics to Better Understand
Food Fermentations”
Abstract
Jonathan
studies food microbiology from safety and quality perspectives using classical
and next-generation detection methods. In this seminar, he will introduce
attendees to Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing and contextualize how it can
answer various questions within the framework of Next Generation Sequencing to
address research queries in the field of Food Science. Jonathan will present
his research on Kombucha and Tempeh fermentations as example studies in which
Amplicon Metagenomic Sequencing was used to better understand underlying
microbial dynamics.
