Research activities
Forty-five years of research on marine algal systematics, ecophysiology, electron microscopy, carbohydrate and pigment chemistry, laboratory culture methods of marine algae. Recent focus on the ecophysiology, molecular biology and cell biology of various mangrove-associated red algae including Bostrychia and Caloglossa.
Many years of cooperative research and publications with fellow phycologists from USA, Canada, England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Japan, Korea and Philippines. Future research plans are to continue worldwide collection and laboratory culture of algae to assess the genetic diversity of species common to the mangroves and related habitats. Cryptic species are rampant in these habitats. Also we will continue molecular research on how asexual populations of red algal species develop from sexual populations world wide. Lastly we continue research on the mechanisms of cell motility in red algae.
236 publications including 195 research papers in refereed journals, 11 chapters in books and 30 book reviews.
260 publications including 218 research papers in refereed journals, 12 chapters in books and 30 book reviews.
