Microbial Chemistry
Research in microbial chemistry lies at the border between chemistry, cell and molecular biology and genetics. We research i.a. on how blue-green algae convert the sun's energy into hydrogen gas.
Our research
Research in Microbial Chemistry is of fundamental science character in the borderland between chemistry, cell- and molecular biology, and genetics. The vision is to use a combination of advanced gene technology and synthetic biology to develop and analyze photosynthetic microorganisms to be used in future biotechnological applications. At present, the largest research area aims to develop cyanobacteria which convert solar energy into an energy carrier.
"Chemistry with specialisation in Microbial Chemistry" is a PhD subject at Uppsala University.
