Dissecting Fe Driven Changes to Metabolism in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes

Lead Institution
Michigan State University
Principal Investigator
Stefan Schmollinger
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for nearly all forms of life, because of its vital role in respiration, photosynthesis, central carbon metabolism, as well as other reactions involving…

The proteome of a day in the life of Chlamydomonas

Lead Institution
University of California, Berkeley
Principal Investigator
Sabeeha Merchant
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Nearly all organisms exhibit diurnal metabolic cycles. In photosynthetic organisms, light is a key input into metabolic cycles. Transcriptomics experiments in cyanobacteria, algae and plants have…

Histone dynamics during the life cycle of Chlamydomonas

Lead Institution
Donald Danforth Plant Science Center
Principal Investigator
James Umen
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Diurnal cycles are central drivers of gene expression in photosynthetic organisms including cyanobacteria, algae and land plants. The model unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has…

Proteomic view of the iron deficiency response in Dunaliella

Lead Institution
University of California, Berkeley
Principal Investigator
Sabeeha Merchant
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Algae are responsible for half of global primary productivity and have an important role in biogeochemical cycling. Algae can thrive in nutrient-rich and nutrient-depleted environments, indicating…

Gene function discovery in photosynthesis: A multi-omics approach

Lead Institution
University of California, Berkeley
Principal Investigator
Sabeeha Merchant
Project type
FICUS Research
Photosynthesis is the defining characteristic of plants enabling the capture and transformation of sunlight into bioenergy and has been the focus of plant research for centuries. Remarkably, whole…

The Diurnal Redox Proteome of Chlamydomonas

Lead Institution
Michigan State University
Principal Investigator
Daniela Strenkert
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Nearly all organisms exhibit diurnal metabolic cycles, especially phototrophs, whose metabolism is strictly dependent on light. Transcriptomics experiments in cyanobacteria, algae and plants have…
