Introduction
I'm interested in the adaptation of microalgae to a changing environment in the context of climate change. During my PhD, I am investigating ecosystem-change-related adaptation processes in revived historical and recent bloom-forming cyanobacteria. I am also interested in the history of cyanobacteria blooms in the Baltic Sea by analysing resting spores in sediment archives.

Article
Full-text available
Cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea proliferated in recent decades due to rising sea surface temperatures, resulting in significant ecological impacts. To elucidate their current success, we examined ecophysiological, biochemical, and morphological traits of recent and ~33-year-old strains of Nodularia spumigena using a resurrection approach. T...

Single-celled green algae within the Trebouxiophyceae (Chlorophyta) are typical components of terrestrial habitats, which often exhibit harsh environmental conditions for these microorganisms. This study provides a detailed overview of the ecophysiological, biochemical and ultrastructural traits of analga living on tree bark. The alga was isolated...
