Activities and responsibilities The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii secretes substantial amounts of glycolate under photorespiratory conditions (Taubert et al., Plant Biotechnol. J. 17, 1538-1546 (2019)). As glycolate is an important industrial chemical, its production in a photosynthetic microorganism opens up the long-term potential to establish a biotechnological industry based on renewable resources. The aim of a new third-party-funded project is to improve glycolate secretion. For this purpose, we want to use physical mutagenesis (e.

No wonder the family tradition and background of leading solicitors, educationalists,s and philosophers encouraged him to go for higher studies. He served for more than a decade from 1920 at Presidency college, teaching and organizing research in Botany and more particularly in Algology. Before that, he briefly served at Government Museum (Natural History) and engaged in Teachers Training in Natural Science. He left for London and finished his Ph.D. in 1932 under none other than Prof. Felix Eugen Fritsch. On his return, he became Professor of Botany at Madras University - a position he occupied until his retirement in 1944. Nevertheless, retirement did not impede his research, he continued to be
