 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.

Dr. Kintaro Okamura                    Kintaro Okamura (May 5, 1867 - August 21, 1935) was a legendary Japanese Phycologist and today known as "Father of Phycology in Japan". He devoted his entire life studying seaweeds from two perspectives: flora and the development of seaweed mariculture in Japan. Okamura (1928) presented a significant paper in which he pointed out that the distribution patterns of seaweeds were closely correlated with two currents warm known as 'Kuroshio' and cold known as 'Oyashio', the view still has widespread support.                He was very prolific and published more than 200 scientific research papers. Among them 'Illustrations of Marine Algae of Japan' and seven volumes of 'Icons of Japanese Algae' most sought after even today. He also produced writings of literary essays best was 'Shumi karamita Kaiso to Jinnsei (Seaweeds and human life: a tasteful reading).              In addition these he was also known p
