Martin M. C. Ghiorse

Martin M. C. Ghiorse is a microbiologist who studies bacteria that live in soil and water, particularly those involved in the natural cycling of nutrients and organic matter. His research focuses on understanding how these microorganisms break down complex substances and their roles in environmental processes, such as pollution cleanup and ecosystem health. Ghiorse’s work helps us better understand microbial functions that are crucial for maintaining healthy soils and waters, which can inform environmental management and bioremediation strategies to address pollution and ecological sustainability.
