PhotoEnergy will develop an interdisciplinary framework of expertise, methods and tools for the investigation of the Adaptation of light-harvesting and energy-transfer processes of marine photosynthetic membrane proteins to light qualities and quantities probed by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. The PhotoEnergy project consortium will work to establish knowledge infrastructure for the isolation protocols of diatoms and brown alga with the ultimate goal to transfer the skills from the Environmental Biocatalysis and Biotechnology Laboratory (EBBL) at the Cyprus U. of Technology (CUT) to the FLASSS (Femtosecond Laser Spectroscopy in Solid State) laboratory at IESL-FORTH.
