Carbon 6x minus through increase production of DMSP
Project Description
Major carbon sinks of the world are not in our bones,
but in biogenic carbonate particles, utilizing photosynthetic power and biosecretory pathways, sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Increasing carbon dioxide with climate change will need to be seriously tackled in your lifetime;
Can these carbonate bearing microalgae be encouraged ??
BACK to the Future: What If you can increase carbonate deposition, utilizing domestice waste and [roducing DMSP
the Green minus sulphur solutes.

Applicant's Roles
Literature review on the potential functions of DMS?DMSP pathway
why do phytoplankton produce so much, especially in dinoflagellates.
in silico analysis of the genes involved in the synthesis and degradation.
are there similar pathways in yeasts?
and can we make a yeast to produce DMSP
