Specifically his research includes:

  • Gas vesicles of cyanobacteria: physiology; structure; molecular biology; ecology
  • The natural selection of gas vesicles in relation to depth of lakes and oceans
  • Population genetics of cyanobacteria using PCR on single filaments from lakes
  • The cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens in stratified lakes
  • Calculating the daily integrals of growth and photosynthesis in lakes
