Microalgal Systematics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the diversity and evolution of photosynthesis, from microalgae and cyanobacteria.
AboutAbout the lab
Closing in on the diversity of tiny photosynthetic organisms
The Miyashita Lab studies the diversity, multifunctionality, and evolution of the photosynthetic organisms that support life and the environment on Earth, focusing on cyanobacteria and microalgae.
The lab takes a broad view from systematics to applied phycology, and also researches technologies that use the activity of photosynthetic organisms to reduce environmental risks.
Undergraduates join the Earth and Life Environment Course to carry out their graduation research (for graduate school, the Earth and Life Environment Course in the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Key terms
- Cyanobacteria
- Bacteria that photosynthesize and release oxygen. Also called blue-green algae
- Chlorophyll d
- A photosynthetic pigment that can absorb light of longer wavelengths than ordinary chlorophyll, close to infrared light
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the diversity, multifunctionality, and evolution of photosynthetic organisms from a broad perspective, ranging from systematics to applied phycology.
