Algal physiology and bioprospecting
For research into microalgae,
nba jerseys, it is essential to understand the processes of growth,
louboutin, metabolism and molecular biology. Dr Jim Gilmour (Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology) has worked on the biotechnology of extremophilic microalgae for over 25 years and most recently on lipid production by the green microalga Dunaliella. Flow cytometry has been used to produce sub strains of Dunaliella that overproduce lipids and are thus promising strains for biodiesel production. Further information.
Professor Phil Wright (Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) is a leader in the area of proteomics of cyanobacteria,
tn pas cher, with a particular interest in the metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria to generate products of interest. A collaboration between Professor Wright,
toms shoes, Dr Raman Vaidyanathan (also the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) and Dr Gilmour (Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology) seeks to extend this work to green algae such as Chlamydomonas. Dr Vaidyanathan works on the metabolmics of algae with a view to understanding the lipid production pathways and utilises information from mass spectroscopy to produce lipid overproducing algae.

Microbubble generation using a fluidic oscillator is patented technology developed by Professor Will Zimmerman (Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) and in collaboration with Dr Gilmour and TaTaSteel. Impressive increases in algal growth rate,
chanel outlet, biomass and ability to sequester CO2 have been demonstrated in laboratory based fermenters and outdoor algal cultures grown using microbubble technology. The collaboration with TaTaSteel is ongoing and will involve test facilities in the UK and India. Further information.
Drs. Julia Blanchard (Department of Animal and Plant Sciences) and Tom Webb (Department of Psychology) are interested in visualising future coastal management systems and the dual impacts of climate change and marine algal biomass production on marine food chains. Expertise in freshwater systems can be accessed through the work of Professor Phil Warren on whole food interactions up and down the chain,
polo ralph, Dr Andrew Beckerman research into abiotic and biotic stresses within ecosystems and Professor Lorraine Maltby efforts in ecotoxicology (all the Department of Animal and Plant Sciences).
