The BEAM network supports inderdisciplinary
and collaborative research into understanding the limitations on microalgal growthsupproting the development of new, commercial-scale microalgae culture systems,
the production of fine chemicals, bioactive compounds and renewable fuels
(hydrogen and biodiesel), as well as environmental applications such as monitoring the
physiological state of phytoplankton in the environment, management of algal blooms, CO2
bioremediation and algal/bacterial systems for the bioremediation of contaminated
soils. Research focuses especially on photosynthetic light utilisation
efficiency and carbon fixation, chlorophyll fluorescence, biochemistry of
secondary metabolites, molecular biology and photobioreactor design and
engineering, informed by an understanding of the ecology of these algae.
