Organisation

Ifremer - French Institute for Marine Research - Physiology and Biotechnology of algae

Info

The Ifremer laboratory is divided into two teams: The "Ecophysiology" team studies relationships between microalgae and their environment, and the effects of such relationships on the growth and biochemical composition of marine microalgae. The "Algae and Genomes" team applies biochemical and molecular approaches to study microalgae metabolisms inherent to defined physiological conditions. Functional genomics tools are utilized to identify and characterize genes and metabolic pathways of interest that could reveal biotechnological potential. Ifremer participates in the following R&D projects:
