UMR7283, IMM (Bacterial Chemistry Laboratory, CNRS, Aix-Marseille University). The laboratory hosts 13 teams all studying the functioning of bacteria at the molecular, cellular, multicellular and ecological levels. Using B. subtilis, E. coli or M. magneticum as bacterial model species, the teams explore the fundamental mechanisms of adaptation, allowing bacteria to sense their environment and form complex multicellular consortia.
UMR7141, IBPC (Laboratory of Chloroplast Biology and Light Perception in Microalgae, CNRS/Sorbonne University). Microalgae model species: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Cyclotella cryptica. Know-how: genetics of microalgae, biochemistry of membrane proteins, biophysics of photosynthesis (fluorometry, absorption difference spectroscopy).
