Many chemicals can be sustainably synthesised by microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and microalgae. A new dissertation highlights the versatility of photosynthetic microorganisms for applications in different solid-state chemical production systems.

Microalgae can grow in greenhouse drain water.
We're testing this concept also in Finland under the climatic and light conditions of Northern Europe.
We installed a fully operational facility to validate the REALM concept at pilot scale: 1 m3.

Students from #TSYK high school visited us in April to learn about #photosynthesis, #microalgae and our #research. With the help of Iia, Tuomas and Laura they got hands-on experience with microalgae immobilisation and photoinhibition fluorescence measurements.
