Students from #TSYK high school visited us in April to learn about #photosynthesis, #microalgae and our #research. With the help of Iia, Tuomas and Laura they got hands-on experience with microalgae immobilisation and photoinhibition fluorescence measurements. #outreach #science

Meet Pulmu, who is a co-supervised PhD student in the Photo-e-mat project founded by Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland . She mainly works in the Materials chemistry research group - UTU to study #sustainable anode materials for #biophotovoltaic applications. With us, she's learning more about #photosynthesis and #cyanobacteria.

PGR5 is needed for redox-dependent regulation of ATP synthase both in chloroplasts and in cyanobacteria biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

Our new preprint on PGR5 and regulation of ATP synthase under fluctuating light is out! We took a multi-species approach and studied pmf dynamics in Arabidopsis, Chlamydomonas, Setaria viridis, Synechocystis, as well as Synechococcus.

I will be looking for a postdoc and a PhD student soon, so if you're interested in investigating bioenergetics of #photosynthesis in #cyanobacteria Turun yliopisto - University of Turku please don't hesitate to contact me already!

Here's something a little different to our usual research. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology (The British Phycological Society), we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
