Abstract:
The laboratory of Protistology and Aquatic Ecology (PAE) studies marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, with an emphasis on coastal systems and polar-alpine and temperate regions. There is a strong focus on the biodiversity, ecological roles and evolutionary history of unicellular eukaryotes as well as on past and present impacts of global change on the composition and function of microbiomes in these systems. The lab hosts the BCCM/DCG, a public Biological Resource Center (BRC), specialised in diatoms and other microalgae and part of the Belgian coordinated collections of microorganisms.

The lab has a long-standing history of research on diatoms, which are the focus of a long-term integrative research line, including cell biology of new model diatom species, population genomics and macroecological and biogeographical studies. In an applied context, the group focuses among others on harmful algal bloom monitoring and control, and algal biotechnology. Research topics include:
  • species diversity, speciation and micro-evolution of protists;

  • aquatic and soil microbiome biogeography and function;

  • chemical ecology of microbial interactions;

  • life cycle regulation and genotype-phenotype relationships in microalgae;

  • (palaeo)environmental change in lake, estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
