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. Website: http://www.utu.fi/photo-microbes

Exciting weeks in China!
Prof. @yagut.bsky.social gave invited talks at:
🔬 ISPP 2025 on cyanobacterial bioenergetics
🧪 ICGC 2025 on biotech applications
Featuring EU-funded @s2b-project.eu and REALM, BF's AlgaCircle & RCF's Photo-e-Mat.
Thanks for hosting us!

Excited to share our study on photosynthetic electron transport regulation during photomixotrophy in distinct Synechocystis WT strains! We uncover strain-specific differences in PSII function and carbon allocation, showing the versatility of their metabolism.

EU policy is actively shaping the field (see the Commission’s communication on Boosting Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing in the EU). Shared definitions help align science, industry and policymaking.
Some cyanobacteria can use both light and organic carbon to support growth, but how they regulate photosynthesis under these conditions remains insufficiently understood. In this study, we show that ....
This study demonstrates the feasibility of employing solid-state photosynthetic cell factories (solid-state PCFs) as a proof-of-concept platform for long-term ethylene production using sodium bicarbon...
I am so thrilled to share our new publication. We found that carboxysome losses integrity in response to ROS and PQ pool overreduction. RpaA seems to have an important role in controlling the organization of carboxysomes. For more details, here is the link:

We identified a dramatic remodeling of carboxysomes under conditions that lead to overreduction of the plastoquinone pool of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. This overreduction was accomp...
