Description of the research topic:
Microalgae are in the focus of basic and applied research due to their importance in biotechnological applications. Growth and productivity of photosynthetic organisms are significantly affected by their growth conditions. Acclimation to environmental conditions is pivotal for plants and algae; indeed, they mobilize various strategies when exposed to stress. Photosynthesis is very sensitive to changes in the environmental conditions because it needs to balance the absorbed light energy with the energy consumed by metabolic processes of the organisms. Accumulation of certain components and changes in the membrane composition can play important role in environmental adaptation. We are to investigate the photosynthetic performance and the changes in the membrane composition of various microalga strains under different conditions in order to better understand the adaptation mechanisms and the relations between the environmental effects and the membrane composition and the regulation of cell division.
