Biochemistry Lab (Tohru Tsuchiya)
Machine-translated · View original
This lab uses biochemistry to explore the mechanisms and evolution of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring photosynthesis from the molecular level.
The Tsuchiya Lab studies the evolution of photosynthesis, its reaction mechanisms, and ways to alter photosynthetic functions.
Photosynthesis is a reaction closely tied to problems humanity faces, such as food, the environment, and energy.
Undergraduates are assigned to the Earth and Life Environment course for their graduation research (for graduate students, the Earth and Life Environment course of the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Key terms
- Cyanobacteria
- Bacteria that perform photosynthesis and release oxygen. Also called blue-green algae
- Thylakoid membrane
- A membrane found inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria, where the light reactions of photosynthesis take place
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies photosynthesis mainly in cyanobacteria, using methods from physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and spectroscopy.
