Research: Alternative energy, from a biological perspective.

In my group we are performing research on different aspects of alternative energy, from a biological perspective.
I have three different projects:
1) Hydrogen metabolism in the bacteria Frankia
2) Ethanol production by the aid of fungi
3) Nitrogen fixation in moss-cyanobacateria
