Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Schluchter, along with two graduate students and an undergraduate, authored “Molecular bases of an alternative dual-enzyme system for light color acclimation of marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria.”
The article is based on research that earned Schluchter a $521,578 grant from the National Science Foundation Biology Division last year.
The article explores marine phytoplankton, a microalgae found in the ocean that provides food for a variety of sea creatures such as whales and shrimp.
Marine phytoplankton comprise the base of the food web because they take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis and turn it into a form that all life in the ocean can use.
