Photobioreactors to Accelerate Our Understanding of Photosynthesis

Abstract

The requested photobioreactors were purchased and are operational. We have so far used the photobioreactors for the following purposes in the context of our AFOSR YIP grant, which aims to identify the genes required for photosynthesis in green algae: 1) Characterized the growth rates of wild-type under different light intensities, 2) Demonstrated our ability to measure growth rates in a pool of 2,000 mutants, 3) Ran a proof-of-concept screen of 20,000 mutants.
