 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.  Elmer Yale Dawson (March 31, 1918 – June 22, 1966) was an American botanist, phycologist, taxonomist, ecologist, and naturalist writer. He was a field worker of boundless energy, pursuing deeper into unexplored biological territories.            The sheer volume of his work is astounding with 170 articles, books, reviews, newsletters, considering he was only 48 years old at the time of his death. His initial interest in cactus and succulent plants was soon taken over by his passion for seaweeds for a lifetime. He arrived at the University of California, Berkeley in 1936 and quickly discovered zeal and enthusiasm for 'microscopy'. He was the last and most productive student of WA Setchell ( he completed his Ph.D. in only two years).            His participation in 'Allan Hancock Expedition to the Gulf of California' has resulted in a major phycological contribution "Marine Algae of Gulf of California" (1944) still relevant referred by the phycol
