PhD Studentship - Algae PhDs fellowship UK

 PhD Studentship - Algae        Dr Jonathan Lee ,  Dr Gary Stephen Caldwell  Friday, May 31, 2024  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide) About the Project PhD project part of the  CDT in Process Industries: Net Zero . The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the  Process Intensification Group  at Newcastle University.  Microalgae are playing increasingly prominent roles in wastewater bioremediation, where their well-known ability to absorb metals, nitrogen and phosphorous is used in solar driven processes that clean up the wastewater. A process co-developed by Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water Ltd (NWL) and installed at the Bran Sands treatment works on Teesside, uses an ammonophilic microalga ( Chlorococcum  sp.) originally isolated from Bran Sands to remediate ammonium from the site’s anaerobic digesters. The process is stable, well characterised, and is being implemented at scale. It is central to NWL’s nutrient neutrality and net zero ambitions

Dr. Josephine Tilden (1869-1957) American Phycologist | Prominent Algologists around the World | Scientist of the Week

Scientist of the Week Dr. Josephine Tilden: Scientist of the week Dr. Josephine Tilden (24 March 1869 to15 May 1957) was one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated phycologist; indefatigable as a teacher, researcher, and bibliographer. She was born on March 24, 1869, in Davenport, Iowa, US. Tilden believed strongly in the equality of women and despite many obstacles never let her gender impede her from pursuing her remarkable career. Prof. Conway MacMillan introduced her to the world of algae at the University of Minnesota.  In 1894 she prepared and distributed the first 'Century  (100 species) of her American Algae, an exsiccate that eventually included 32,500 specimens of both freshwater and marine taxa. Tilden had an uncanny skill for finding superb collecting sites. Perhaps the most famous of her sites is Botanical Beach, an area located near Port Renfrew. Here she established the world-famous 'Minnesota Seaside Station' where she conducted Marine biology courses durin

A New species of red alga has been named after our Senior Scientist Prof. B. B. Chaugule | Kumanoa chaugulei new species of red algae from Kerala

Image
 Dear researchers and Students,     This article introduces Kumanoa chaugulei Jayalakshmi & John, 2021... Kumanoa chaugulei  Jayalakshmi & John from Kerala (Phycologia)     Kumanoa chaugulei is a newly described freshwater red algae from Kerala, India. This article is published in Phycologia Journal (17th, June 2021). The alga was collected from Idamalayar, a major tributary of Periyar River, Kerala, India, and described based on morphology and molecular phylogeny.  This is the first study from India on Batrachospermacea e with Molecular phylogeny data. In the introduction, the authors have discussed Freshwater red algae and Batrachospermales members and on previous reports. In materials and methods the collection site with GPS, morphology, and molecular data methods. The result part has Morphology and molecular data. Maximum-likelihood (ML) tree has been generated using the rbcL and COI-5P concatenated sequence data. Morphological data are given as the description of the n

Prof. Johan Harald Kylin (1879 – 1949) Swedan Phycologist | Prominent Algologists around the World | Scientist of the Week

Image
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

Elimination cells in the Batrachospermaceae by M S Balakrishnan and B B Chaugule

Image
The first observation of Elimination cells in Members of Batrachospermaceae was observed and published by Prof. M S Balakrishnan and Prof B B Chaugule in 1975. Due to one or another reason this communication was not reached globally and their detailed article published in 1980 which got a higher impact globally and also at the same time 1979 Stotsch and Theil published the same observation and which got higher impacts. Here is the first communication of Prof M S Balakrishnan and Prof B B Chaugule which was published in Current Science as letters to the Editor.

Cytology and Life History of Batrachospermum mahabaleshwarensis M.S.Balakrishnan & B.B.Chaugule 1980    Article published in Cryptogamie: algologie  The important finding in the Life-history of Batrachospermum was discovered by Prof. M.S. Balakrishnan & Prof. B. B. Chaugule. The life history of the freshwater red algae Batrochospermum with the support of Cytology is discussed in great detail in this article... Detailed morphological and cytological studies by Balakrishnan  &  Chaugule were made for  Batrachospermum species to elucidate the life history  “telescoping of the three phases into a  single composite entity”  and locating the precise site of meiosis.   The current system of Classification considers this alga as Kumanoa mahabaleshwarensis (M.S.Balakrishnan & B.B.Chaugule) E.K.Ganesan & J.A.West. Classification: Empire Eukaryota Kingdom Plantae Subkingdom Biliphyta Phylum Rhodophyta Subphylum Eurhodophytina Class Florideophyceae Subclass Nemaliophycidae Orde
