THESIS TOPIC PROPOSAL

Institute: University of Szeged
biology
Doctoral School of Biology

Thesis supervisor: Gergely Maróti
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Institute of Plant Biology, BRC
Abbreviation of location of studies: SzBK


Description of the research topic:

Various green microalgae (including eukaryotic green microalgae and cyanobacteria) will be investigated and compared for their capabilities to produce various antimicrobial agents and plant biostimulant materials. Multiple growth conditions will be tested as potential inducers of the production of the target molecules. Beside growth and physiological experiments a specific attention will be paid to the possible roles of partner bacteria in the induction of biostimulants and/or antimicrobials. Genome level analyses (high-throughput transcriptomics) and cutting-edge microscopy studies will be applied to get insights into the molecular background of the algal-bacterial interactions.

Required language skills: English
Further requirements: 
previous experience with algae

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2020-12-31
