Professor Jong-In Han's research lab specializes in microbial genomics and environmental biotechnology, focusing on the genetic and metabolic mechanisms underlying the adaptability of environmentally versatile bacteria such as *Variovorax paradoxus*. The lab investigates microbial metabolism, particularly the biodegradation of environmental pollutants and the molecular basis of symbiotic interactions with plants and other microbes. A central theme is understanding how microbial genomes encode metabolic diversity to support survival in dynamic environments, with applications in bioremediation and sustainable agriculture. The lab integrates genomics, bioinformatics, and molecular microbiology to explore microbial evolution and functional adaptation.

Variovorax paradoxus is a microorganism of special interest due to its diverse metabolic capabilities, including the biodegradation of both biogenic compounds and anthropogenic contaminants. V. paradoxus also engages in mutually beneficial interactions with both bacteria and plants. The complete genome sequence of V. paradoxus S110 is composed of 6,754,997 bp with 6,279 predicted protein-coding sequences within two circular chromosomes. Genomic analysis has revealed multiple metabolic features f
