🚀 Here’s our first communication campaign for the S2B project! We’ll introduce one of our project partners every two weeks.
We are seeking 1–3 Doctoral Researcher (or Postdoc) to join our group. Projects focus on #photosynthesis in Synechocystis sp. 6803, Anabaena sp. 7120, and Synechococcus sp. 11901 to uncover key bioenergetic mechanisms. Interested? Apply: ats.talentadore.com/apply/1-…

Many chemicals can be sustainably synthesised by microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and microalgae. A new dissertation highlights the versatility of photosynthetic microorganisms for applications in different solid-state chemical production systems.

Microalgae can grow in greenhouse drain water.
We're testing this concept also in Finland under the climatic and light conditions of Northern Europe.
We installed a fully operational facility to validate the REALM concept at pilot scale: 1 m3.

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.

Today, we had an opening event for our AlgaTech facilities in Ruissalo Botanical Garden. Opening words by @YagutRinne and projects introduction by @semasirin. Thanks for the great organisation and good time spent networking with collaborators and colleagues. #algae @REALMalgae – at Turku, Finland
Great talks at the Biofoundries for Bioeconomy at #ChemBioFinland2024 by @YagutRinne and @GaborSzToth. Great opportunity for networking and keeping up to date with state-of-the-art technologies. – at Helsinki, Finland
Say hi to Iida-Maria, one of our newest PhD researchers! She has a MSc in Biology from @UniOulu and joins us to study the plant growth-promoting and anti-fungal effects of #microalgae extracts. When not in the lab, you can find her in the CrossFit gym 💪
