Biography
Zuoxi Ruan has great passion in research of Algal Physiology and Ecology. Two main lines of research have characterized his scientific activity: 1) Patterns of energy and C allocation in microalgae, which was done by investigating C and N acquisition and assimilation, and by studying different patterns of C allocation in macromolecular pools, allow to link algal cell biology and ecology with respect to the interaction between nutrient use and C allocation; 2) CO2 concentrating mechanisms and carbon fixation in calcifying and non-calcifying phytoplankton and their interaction with ongoing global changes (ocean acidification and UV) were carried out by investigation of C acquisition, calcification and photosynthesis, as may provide an insight into the change of organic and inorganic pump in the future.
