 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.

THE LIVING WORLD | Descriptive notes on The Living World

     Life is a complex organization of molecules that is unique and leads to growth, development, responsiveness adaptation, and reproduction. Living organisms are evolving, self-replicating, and self-regulating interactive systems. 1.Distinctive Characteristics Exhibited By Living Organisms                      The fundamental characteristics of livings are those which are found in livings and absent in non-livings. The characteristics of livings found in all livings are called defining features. The fundamental characteristics are  Growth,  Reproduction,  Ability to sense the environment,  Metabolism,  Ability to self-replicate,  Self-organize,  Interact and Emergence. I.Growth  An increase in mass and an increase in the number of individuals are twin characteristics of growth. A multicellular organism grows by cell division. In plants, this growth by cell division occurs continuously throughout their life span while in animals, this growth is seen only up to a certain age. Unicellul
