Photosynthetic organisms we study
Cyanobacteria
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microbes with key roles in Earth’s oxygen production and nitrogen fixation. Studying their physiology is vital for biotechnology, with applications in biofuels, bioremediation, and sustainable agriculture
Microalgae
Microalgae have a key ecological role as ocean primary producers. They have many potential applications for sustainable processes to produce biofuels, food, feed but also carbon capture and wastewater treatment
Mosses
Studying moss physiology provides key insights into plants evolution and their adaptation to land. They also offer the possibility of exploring genetic modifications that are not viable in plants such as for example respiratory mutants
Vaascular Plants
Plants are essential for food, feed, and raw materials. Understanding their physiology supports the quest for improved yields, stress resistance, and sustainability, contributing to food security and agricultural innovation
Our Research Approach
Studying photosynthesis in organisms of different complexity
Step 1: Investigation
We begin with in-depth investigations into the physiological aspects of photosynthesis, focusing on both biological and environmental factors.
Step 2: Experimentation
Experiments are meticulously designed and executed, allowing us to gather valuable data on performance and adaptations of photosynthetic organisms.
Step 3: Analysis
Data collected from experiments undergoes rigorous analysis, providing insights that guide further research and practical applications.
