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.
We can make biofuels with algae, but can we make them commercially viable? IMB is working towards it – and Siemens, Neste Oil Corp, the Queensland Government and others have joined their quest.
CO2 emissions and thus global warming could rise more quickly than expected, according to a new model by University of Queensland and Griffith University researchers.
