Master Student Caja Dinesen
I´m pursuing a master’s in biotechnology at DTU. In my bachelors I studied the influence of a SM producing marine bacteria in a multispecies bacterial community. I have then later shifted my focus to plant-microbe interactions researching the role of Bacillus subtilis Rap-Phr QS system in root colonization. For my thesis I will study how biotic and abiotic factors influence the production of the two antimicrobials surfactin and plipastatin produced by the rhizobacteria B. subtilis.
