|Dr. Xiao’s research has focused on the deep sea ecosystem and extremophile since 2001. Good efforts have been made in the qualitative and quantitative description of microorganisms using molecular methods (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis, Fluorescent in situ Hybridization, Real-Time PCR, Chips, Pyrosequencing and Single cell sequencing) and the investigations of novel microbial processes in deep sea hydrothermal vents, cold seep and sediments. During the last years, he succeeded in isolating and genetic manipulating of several groups of extremophiles such as piezophile, thermophiles and psychrophiles. Genomic and metagenomic analysis of the model strains and chimney microbial consortium have summaried as good stories about the stratigies of molecular adaptation and community evolution in the sepeci field deep sea environment.|
