As a key group of State Key Laboratory of Marine Resource Utilization in Southern Ocean, our laboratory has exploited the awesome power of microalgae as a genetically tractable model eukaryote to investigate fundamental problems in cell and developmental biology such as the mechanisms of value-added chemical biosynthesis. To this end, we are collaborating with worldwide versatile scientists and using an array of standard equipment, including but not limited to:
(i) Incubators
- thermostatic chamber
- photosynthetic bioreactor
- self-design high-light biorector
(ii) Photosynthetic facilities
- quantum meter
- chlorophyll fluorometer
(iii) Aseptic processing facilities
- autoclave
- clean bench
(iv) Conservation facilities
- 80°C and -20°C freezers
- walk in refrigerators
- 4 °C illuminating incubator
(v) Microscopy facilities
- dissecting microscope
- fluorescence microscope
(vi) Respiration facilities
- Oxygraph
(vii) Molecular facilities
- 96 well gradient PCR machines
- a quantitative PCR machine
- a gel imaging system
- nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis equipment
- an analytical balance and pH meter
- refrigerated centrifuges and microfuges
- various mixers and stirrers
- water baths, rotary shakers
- gene pulser
