    Marine microbiology

     


    RESEARCH PROFILE


    The head of the group is Prof Dave Scanlan, Professor in Marine Microbiology in the Department

    The group has several main areas of research:

    · Community structure and niche adaptation mechanisms in marine cyanobacteria

    · Molecular genetics of nutrient assimilation and regulation in cyanobacteria

    · Sensing environmental stimuli in cyanobacteria

    · Light regulation of gene expression in cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae

    · Microbiology and molecular ecology of eukaryotic picophytoplankton
