Today, we had an opening event for our AlgaTech facilities in Ruissalo Botanical Garden. Opening words by Yagut Allahverdiyeva-Rinne and projects introduction by semasirin. Thanks for the great organisation and good time spent networking with collaborators and colleagues. #algae REALM algae

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. #outreach #science

The deadline for abstract submission is approaching!

Job alert!📢 We're looking for a motivated doctoral researcher with a background in data-driven systems and artificial intelligence to join Photosynthetic Microbes and develop AI-assisted photosynthetic devices for solar fuel and chemical production.

A new collaborative paper on photomixotrophy in cyanobacteria is out. It's an excellent example of how to combine different expertise from different labs. Big congratulations to Pablo and all the co-authors!

Meet Pulmu, who is a co-supervised PhD student in the Photo-e-mat project founded by Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland . She mainly works in the Materials chemistry research group - UTU to study #sustainable anode materials for #biophotovoltaic applications. With us, she's learning more about #photosynthesis and #cyanobacteria.

TODAY at 12:00 in Presidentti, BioCity! Frontiers of Science talk by Prof. Shelley Minteer Minteer Lab from the University of Utah. Prof. Minteer will tell us about enzymes as electrocatalysts. ☕️+🥪 at 11:45, welcome! Photosynthetic Microbes Åbo Akademi University Turun yliopisto - University of Turku

The SUNERGY initiative & the SUNER-C project are organising a workshop exploring #CCU, #PowertoX and #SolartoX from 4-5 June at EnergyVille in Genk 🇧🇪. It will include results from academic research, ways to scale up solar-to-X tech & more! More at shorturl.at/0YlmW.

We had an inspiring talk from Prof. Shelley Minteer at the Frontiers of Science seminar BioCity Turku covering diverse topics from bioelectrochemical N2 fixation by cyano to NH3 producing H2/N2 fuel cells. Congrats on your election to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences!@MinteerLab

📆#EVENT we organize the event "Harnessing Renewables for a Sustainable Future" in collaboration with the European Innovation Council, imec, EuroTech Universities Alliance and the EU projects CATART Project, CONDOR and FlowPhotoChem.eu. 📆 4-5 June 2024 📍 Genk, Belgium 🔗 Register here sunergy-initiative.eu/event/harnessi…

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. #BlueBioeconomy

Excellent opportunity

🌿It was fun developing a little board game prototype 'PhotoSynthesis’ during the Summer School last week led by Dominik Rinnhofer. It allowed me to dive a bit into Science communication/education using the light reaction as example🌞(1/6)#ScienceGames #Photosynthesis #BoardGames

📢New new paper from the Photosynthetic Microbes group! Michal Hubáček shows that a robust heterologous electron sink can outcompete cyclic electron transport and the FLV-dependent pathway. This is important for the rational engineering of cells for bioproduction.

This is the big one!🤩 Opening for an awesome group leader to join our community on the 5th/6th floor of the Biozentrum, University of Basel. We're looking for someone who brings an exiting biological program using a combo of structural biology, cellular imaging, and biophysics. 📢Retweet please!

Excited to be part of The Plant Cell perspective article on 'Lighting the Way: Compelling Open Questions in Photosynthesis.' Flavodiiron proteins are a major focus in my lab Photosynthetic Microbes & there's still much to uncover about their role in photosynthesis. t.ly/AkGcy

The conference program is now available on our website. Check it out and if you just make up your mind to join us, registration is open just a few more days. Welcome to Copenhagen! spps.se

If you are interested in #photosynthesis or #biotechnologies as a #PostDoc or junior group leader, now is the time to act. The Turku Collegium for Science, Medicine, and Technology has open applications. utu.fi/en/news/news/t…

send CV and join us Photosynthetic Microbes as a postdoc to study photosynthesis and exoelectrogensis in biophotovoltaics.
