Aerobic Utilization of Hydrocarbons, Oils, and Lipids

Fernando Rojo is Research Professor at the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), and leads a research group at the National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB-CSIC) in Madrid, Spain. His interests include the regulation of the expression of genes involved in the assimilation of hydrocarbons by bacteria, and the global regulation of metabolism in bacteria.
