Objective
Cyanobacteria (prokayotes) and diatoms (eukaryotes) dominate the micro algal biomass in oceanic ecosystems. Since the marine environment represents a relatively untapped resource with regard to functional gene diversity, a significant potential exists for use of these phytoplankton specles as novel model organisms&/or as expression systems. Their wide distribution in the world ocean indicates that they possess sophisticated strategies for responding to environmental change. Using novel genomic or EST information from these two phytoplankton groups, we will identify genes which play crucial roles in the different aspects of the relationships between the cells and their environment with a focus on niche-specific genes. We will develop DNA arrays for expression analysis and develop technology for mutant construction and reporter gene fusion analysis.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
