Producing stable hydrogen from algae
Jointly with the J.D Rochaix laboratory (Geneva University, Switzerland), researchers at the Bacterial and Microalgal Bioenergetics and Biotechnology Laboratory (LB3M, IBEB Cadarache) have shown that a new genetic switch can be used to effectively control photosystem II activity and trigger the production of hydrogen. This research, directed at stabilising the production of hydrogen without employing a mineral deficiency technique (standard protocol that limits algal performance), is being carried out as part of a European programme under the 6th PCRD (SOLAR-H).

The role of copper in detecting stress
The Plant Development Biology Laboratory (IBEB, Cadarache) has identified two copper oxidases that arrest growth in Arabidopsis thaliana roots when the root tips reach a low-phosphate environment. Strangely enough, this response depends on the metal content of the culture medium. A better understanding of this phenomenon could lead to applications in agronomy and phytoremediation.

AFM-BioMed Conference Barcelona 2007
Le congrès international AFM-BioMed Conference Barcelona 2007 créé et organisé par P. Parot et J-L. Pellequer de l'iBEB/SBTN/LIRM en collaboration avec l’université de Barcelone s'est déroulé à Barcelone du 19 au 21 avril dernier. Cette manifestation a rassemblé plus de 200 scientifiques parmi lesquels les principaux experts académiques, souvent pionniers de cette encore jeune discipline.
