It’s no secret that the world has a problem with plastic. An IMB research team examined the future of plastics and how tiny species of algae and bacteria may help us produce more environmentally friendly versions.
Researchers from The University of Queensland (UQ) and the University of Münster (WWU) have purified and visualized the ‘Cyclic Electron Flow’ (CEF) supercomplex, a critical part of the photosynthetic machinery in all plants, in a discovery that could help guide the development of next-generation solar biotechnologies.
It is possible to combine family and a love of science. PhD graduate Rubbiya Ali looks back on everything she’s achieved at UQ, including mapping microalgae to help produce more efficient biofuels and having a son.
