Research lines:

Photosynthesis in Cyanobacteria. Phycobilisomes (light harvesting photosynthetic antenna): localization of their components by biochemical and proteomic approaches. Ferredoxin NADPH reductase (FNR), associated enzyme of the phycobilisomes. The role of the FNR and the b6f membrane complex in cyclic photosynthetic phosphorylation. Comparative studies with cyanobacteria. Gloeobacter violaceus, a cyanobacterium without thylakoids; Anabaena variabilis, filamentous cyanobacterium with heterocysts, Fremyella diplosiphon UTEX B590 and Tolypothrix PCC 7601 cyanobacteria with complementary chromatic adaptation: Synechococcus sp. PCC 7601 and Synechocystis PCC 6803, unicellular transformable cyanobacteria and Prochlorococcus MIT 9313 a marine cyanobacterium without phycobilisomes.
