Ye's Team of Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute
The primary focus of the team is molecular ecology/functional genomics of marine algae
We search for most promising candidate species (robust, fast growing, high lipid content) and cheap ways (e.g. wastewater) to grow for feedstock, investigate genetic regulatory network of lipid or polysaccharide synthesis, and explore the potential of genetic manipulation to enhance lipid or polysaccharide production in algae.
