Jose De La Torre-bueno PhD

Jose De La Torre-Bueno is the Professor in Dept of Biology at San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California, United States. Dr. de la Torre's research focuses on understanding the physiology, ecology, and evolution of microorganisms involved in driving the global Nitrogen cycle. The de la Torre lab is particularly focused on studying the pathways for energy production in ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), the genomics of thermophilic AOA from around the world, and how interactions between AOA and nitrogen-fixing microorganisms drive the composition of microbial communities in extreme environments (e.g. in hot springs in Yellowstone National Park).
