Project: Focusing on Temperature and Salinity Changes in Cyanobacteria Rising water temperatures, due to global warming, has been suggested to be beneficial for phytoplankton, especially…
Project: Don-Alex Does dissolved organic nitrogen from decaying vegetation fuel toxic dinoflagellate blooms in coastal waters of the Baltic Sea?
Doctoral project:Thiamin dynamics in Atlantic salmon The project focuses on thiamin deficiency in salmon in the Baltic Sea, a phenomenon that affects their behavior and offspring survival. By…
Doctoral project: How are carbon flows in coastal ecosystems influenced by climate change? A major knowledge-gap in science is how climate change will affect biochemical processes, biodiversity, and…
Doctoral project: Mixotrophic cultivation of microalgae for nutrient and CO2 recovery from waste streams Microalgae can efficiently recover nutrient and CO2 from industrial waste streams. Mixotrophic…
Project: Virus control on Baltic Picocyanobacteria Viruses are the most abundant biological entity in marine environments and influence the abundance and evolution of microbes. Here, we explore the…
Algoland - Algal Solutions for Air, Water, Industry and Society Our research group studies the capacity of microalgae to purify air and water, produce energy and biomass and contribute to sustainable…
Project: Why are mussel-eating sea birds declining? Several benthic feeding sea bird populations, including common eider (Somateria mollissima), have declined dramatically in recent decades. Likewise,…
Project: Ducks and disease: waterfowl migration and transmission of avian influenza virus In recent years, an increasing number of outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus have been…
Project: Why do animals in the Baltic Sea display symptoms of starvation when there is plenty of food? Project Members: Samuel Hylander (Lnu), Sanna Majaneva, Emil Fridolfsson (Lnu) and Martin Brüsin…
Project: Impact of harmful cyanobacteria on coastal fish recruitment In the project CYANOFISH we hypothesize that fish exposed to high levels of cyanobacteria ( (exposed bays) are more tolerant than…
Project: Picocyanobacteria, significant primary producers but largely overlooked players in coastal waters Tiny single-celled photosynthetic bacteria, picocyanobacteria, contribute significantly to…
Project: Transfer of thiamin in the microbial food web (MicroThi) Thiamin (vitamin B1) deficiency cause behavioural and reproductive disorders leading to mortality in fish and birds. The aim of the…
Project: NIPROFEED - unraveling the nitrogen fixation-primary production feedback loop: implications for carbon cycling and oceanic health The NIPROFEED project explores how diazotrophs, microbes that…
Project: Multi-Use Offshore Platform This project examines the feasibility of developing a pilot-scale multi-use offshore platform (MUOP) at the wind farm nearshore Kårehamn in the Baltic Sea.
Project: Nutrient uptake by picoplankton in the Arctic Ocean Picoplankton are the smallest photosynthetic organisms in the Arctic Ocean and the base of the food web. To understand how they will be…
Project: Kalmarsund Station (K-station) The Kalmarsund Station (K-station) is a coastal sampling station that is used to study the ecology and seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in the Baltic Sea. The…
Project: Changes in microbial population and their functions as a response to environmental changes in Baltic Sea sediments The project will investigate Baltic Sea sediments in terms of both 'dead…
