CEA Cardarache - Laboratory of Microalgal and Bacterial Bioenergetics and Biotechnology

Info

Research aims at exploring the potential of microalgae for the durable production of biofuel (hydrogen, biodiesel): understand the metabolic pathways and the electron transfer pathways involved in the process of hydrogen photoproduction; finding ways of improvement of the process; studying the molecular mechanisms of oil accumulation in microalgae and identifying master regulators of oil biosynthetic pathways in order to maximize the capacity of lipid production by microalgae
