Photosynthesis and light harvesting in unicellular Phytoplankton

Photosynthesis and light harvesting in unicellular Phytoplankton

This project is in collaboration mainly with Prof. Nir Keren.

  1. Develop an approach for studying multiple fluorescence-based photosynthesis-related parameters of unicellular phytoplankton to decipher their photophysiology under multiple biotic & abiotic stresses (see Harris et al.)
  2. Develop technology for unicellular phytoplankton in industrial facilities, and in the environment (lakes & seas)
  3. Study slow quantum effects in light harvesting by phycobilisomes
