Photosynthesis
Research The Bauer Lab is located in scenic Bloomington,
Indiana. We’re part of the Department
of Biology at Indiana
University. Our lab studies photosynthetic bacteria. Why? Photosynthesis
is the greatest business under the sky -- No photosynthesis, no life. The laboratory interests fall into three
categories: (1) The regulation of photosynthesis gene expression by
environmental factors such as light and oxygen (2) Origin and evolution of
photosynthesis (3) Phototactic behavior of photosynthetic
microorganisms. The two species we
study the most are, Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodospirillum
centenum, two of the most versatile organisms on earth. For more information on
these topics go to the Research section, or click
the area of interest to your left for a brief overview of each topic. If you’d like to follow our work in more
detail, check out the Publications section for
a list of our most recent work. Want to meet the people
behind the research? Go to our People page to see a list of Bauer Lab Members, past
and present. Then look at the Pictures to find out what we’re really like. |
