Why diatoms produce palmitvaccenic acid?
Palmitvaccenic acid (16:1Δ11, PVA) is a fatty acid produced by organisms belonging to three distinct phylogenetic groups. microalgae, insects, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Read more
Carbon fixation in a future ocean – Consequences of nitrogen limitation on lipid remodelling and the ecophysiology of marine phytoplankton
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Resolving unknown effects of nitrogen (N) and nitrogen-phosphorus (N/P) co-limitation on lipid synthesis. Read more
The role of zinc in the adaptation of diatoms to conditions of polar oceans (MOCK_UENV25ARIES)
Primary supervisor - Professor Thomas Mock. Scientific background. Diatoms are the main primary producers in polar oceans, where photosynthesis is largely limited by seasonal fluctuation in light, temperature and the extent of sea ice. Read more
EASTBIO: A novel, highly versatile cell factory to make feedstocks from biowastes
Industrial biotechnology is emerging as a powerhouse for a sustainable approach to modern chemical and modern medicine manufacture, where microorganisms are utilised to replace our dependency upon fossil fuel sourced chemical feedstocks. Read more
CR2025_39: Defining the cascading effects of global warming – from the microbial loop to marine food webs (MicroHeat)
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Marine ecosystems are highly sensitive to global warming, however, the detailed mechanisms by which temperature changes affect food web dynamics remain poorly understood. Read more
