Marine environments are under growing pressure from antibiotics, sourced from wastewater treatment plants or aquaculture farms, for example. Antibiotics can inhibit the role that microorganisms play in catalysing essential processes in the marine nitrogen cycle such as nitrogen fixation or nitrification. Alongside organisation partner, Cefas, I hope to gain a firm understanding of how antibiotics impact these ecosystem functions for effective regulation of pollutants and protection of marine ecosystem health and water quality.

例如，海洋环境正面临着来自废水处理厂或水产养殖场的抗生素带来的越来越大的压力。抗生素可以抑制微生物在催化海洋氮循环中的重要过程（例如固氮或硝化）中所发挥的作用。我希望与组织合作伙伴 Cefas 一起深入了解抗生素如何影响这些生态系统功能，以有效调节污染物并保护海洋生态系统健康和水质。
