At Turku University in Finland, the lab led by Prof. Y. Allahverdiyeva explores the core of #photosynthesis — how it works, how it's regulated, and how it can be used in #biotechnology and a circular economy.

We uncover strain-specific differences in PSII function and carbon allocation, showing the versatility of their metabolism. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tpj.70683?af=R28 Jan 2026 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:mna5duodshdnbquqfkkhm5cy/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdiipbgg5s2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/photomicrobeslab.bsky.social/post/3m6575csejk24🌿 CYSS Turku Event 2025 🌿 Last week we had a fantastic day hosting colleagues from @aalto.fi and @vtt.fi here @utu.fi!

This phenotype may stem from PacR mediated regulation of key genes of N and C metabolism as well as photosynthesis. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppl.7024811 May 2025 20:19 +0000at://did:plc:mna5duodshdnbquqfkkhm5cy/app.bsky.feed.post/3lowbp5p3pk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/photomicrobeslab.bsky.social/post/3lo6hnbyxlc2sGreat to host TSYK high school students at PhotoMicrobes!
