Josh Temple: How do algae survive excess oxygen? Recent discovery gives clues to boost biofuel production
A new study from the MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory (PRL) shows how some algae can protect themselves when the oxygen they produce impairs their photosynthetic activity. The discovery also answers a long-standing question about how algae survive when CO2 levels are low.
This work from the Kramer lab was published in eLife.
