Albina Bakeeva

Food and feed mycology and microbiology. I research positive and negative effects of mould and yeast in food and feed and assist food industries by identification of fungi (mould, yeast) and bacteria. I am proficient in mould identification by classical and molecular tools; identification is strictly confidential.

Teaching

· Microbiology (BI1248)

· Veterinary Infection Biology, Parasitology and Mycology (BI1078)

· Food Microbiology, Quality Management and Food Law (LV0107)

· Lecture on moulds identification, spoilage, toxins and positive effects of moulds

Research

1. Performing microbial analyses of food and feed samples; mould, yeast and bacteria identification

2. Development of methods Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) as a method for identifying moulds associated with Swedish food and feed (Su-lin Hedén, Society for Research in Veterinary Medicine, Ivar and Elsa Sandberg fund; and Carl-Tryggers Foundation).

Background

I have an extensive background in microbiology combined with a strong laboratory and industry experience since 2004. I have been working with microbes routinely – with bacteria and microalgae during my PhD, and moulds and yeasts since joining SLU in September, 2013.
