DTC BIO 14 - Photosynthetic regulation in the red algae Porphyridium cruentum.

Algae live in dynamic environment and have the capacity to regulate photosynthesis and photoregulation accordingly. Red algae are of particular interest because in addition to photosystems I and II they contain phycobilisomes. This project will use transcriptome and metabolome approaches to undertand photosynthetic regulation in the red microalgal species Porphyridium cruentum.
