My research examines parts of the photosynthesis process in a group of aquatic microorganisms called cyanobacteria and microalgae. These organisms are important global contributors to the renewal of the oxygen supply in our atmosphere, energy capture and primary productivity and account for about 40% of the carbon dioxide that is fixed by “green organisms”. They are the foundation of the food chain in our lakes and oceans and are essential food sources that support the lives of many other organisms.

我的研究考察了一组被称为蓝藻和微藻的水生微生物光合作用过程的一部分。这些生物在全球范围内对我们大气中的氧气供应、能量捕获和初级生产力的更新做出了重要贡献，约占“绿色生物”固定二氧化碳的40%。它们是我们湖泊和海洋食物链的基础，是支持许多其他生物生命的重要食物来源。
