 Ph.D. position in algal biotechnology PhD position - 3 years (m/f/d) Algal biotechnology Leipzig University, Faculty of Life Sciences, Institute of Biology, Plant Physiology group of Prof. Severin Sasso, Leipzig, Germany Start: 1 July 2024 Deadline: 7 May 2024 The Plant Physiology group at the Institute of Biology, Leipzig University, offers a Ph.D. position (Promotionsstelle) starting from 1 July 2024, subject to formal funding approval. 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.

Prof. Johan Harald Kylin - Scientist of the Week      Prof. Johan Harald Kylin (5 February 1879 – 16 December 1949) had remarkable versatility and made major biochemical and physiology discoveries on brown, green and red seaweeds; but know only for his contribution to red algal systematics. His undoubted scientific prowess was married to a firm belief in steady, hard work, an iron will, and a high level of personal organization.       Arctic phycologist F. R. Kjellman influenced him greatly at Uppsala and developed a life-long interest in marine algae. Although, he obtained employment as Conservator at the Botanical Museum of Uppsala, the time he spent during 1912-13 at the Leipzing laboratory of Wilhelm Pfeffer - which at that time was the Mecca of plant physiologists gave him great insights into physiology which he later used in marine algae - several of the aspects first time in the world. He has the Chair in anatomy and physiology at Lund in 1920 where he remained until his retirem
