Several PhD opportunities are available to join my group, the Molecular Evolution Lab at QMUL! 🌴 If you’re interested in the origin and evolution of #photosynthesis or #cyanobacteria, or in applying #SynBio to photosynthetic enzymes, get in touch! cardonalab.uk/joinus Please share! Thank you.
Join us — The Molecular Evolution Lab
A PhD studentship funded by an EPSRC DTP (3.5 years) is currently available in the Molecular Evolution Lab. The project objective is to apply and develop synthetic biology approaches, leveraging direc...

Happy to see this out @NatComm
We found that the unicellular coastal cyanobacterium Cyanothece sp uses sodium energetics rather than the typical proton energetics to fix N2. Sodium energetics likely is more widespread and affects the global nitrogen cycle.
