impact and metabolism of xenobiotics
Welcome
The Motta lab studies organismal interactions in host-associated microbial communities.
We use the honey bee, Apis mellifera, as an experimental model to explore the processes governing the assembly of gut microbial communities and their impact on host biology.
We also investigate how environmental stressors, such as agrochemicals and plant toxins, affect gut microbial communities and the consequences for host health.
