About

Christa Schleper is a University Professor and the Head of the Archaea Biology and Ecogenomics Division at the University of Vienna, Austria. Her research focuses on the metabolic responses of archaea to varying environmental conditions and the ecological roles of polysaccharide-degrading archaea in extreme environments. Recent publications include investigations into ammonia-oxidizing archaea and their complex cellular structures, contributing significantly to the understanding of microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycles.
