The Center for Microbial Ecology (CME)
The intellectual focus of the Center for Microbial Ecology is to understand factors that influence the competitiveness, diversity and function of microorganisms in their natural and managed habitats.

Microbial Ecosystem Dynamics (MEDEA)
A combined experimental and theoretical approach towards understanding the mechanisms determining microbial ecosystem dynamics in the photic zone of the oceans. Centered around an idealized conceptual/mathematical model, questions are addressed concerning mechanisms regulating structure and function of the food web.

BacSim: Individual-based model of microorganisms
BacSim is an Individual-based Model (IbM) of bacterial populations, such as colonies and biofilms. Online computer simulations give a feel for what the program does. Source code and animations are also available.
