Nadine Lukas

Working as a HiWi since 2022, Nadine has focused on the isolation and characterization of a novel anaerobic fungus from rodents of the family Caviidae. Responsibilities included anaerobic cultivation, roll-tube isolation, Sanger sequencing, nanopore-based next-generation sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis using MEGA, alongside morphological characterization through light microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Nadine has also assisted with the maintenance of anaerobic fungal cultures.
