Electron microscopy imaging of cyanobacteria Synechcystis sp.
EMSL Project ID
16315
Abstract
As a part of Grand Challenges in Membrane biology, Synechocystis sp. will be investigated in regards of cell morphology and elemental analysis of minerals associated with their outer and inner membranes. We are investigating metabolic response of Synechocystis on increased levels of Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu in the environment, in correlation with the Circadian rhytm of periodical changing the light and darkness. Experiments will be done in 331 building, and cells will be brought to EMSL either fixed (SEM) or thin sectioned (TEM).
