Abstract:
The research of the Genetics and Physiology of Microalgae laboratory focuses on the characterisation of bioenergetic pathways (respiration, photosynthesis, fermentation) in unicellular microalgae of diverse evolutionary origin, such as the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlorophytes), the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria, the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana (Bacillariophytes), the secondary green alga Euglena gracilis (Euglenophytes) or the marine dinoflagellate Symbiodinium (Dinophytes). These photosynthetic microeukaryotes are of ecological, evolutionary or biotechnological interest.

The main research topics include:
  • composition, assembly and structure of respiratory complexes;
  • assimilation of exogenous carbon sources (heterotrophy and mixotrophy);
  • regulation mechanisms of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain;
  • interactions between bioenergetic processes (respiration, photosynthesis and fermentation);
  • development of genetic tools (transformation and mutant screening strategy).
