CGA Research at Skidmore College

      David Domozych’s laboratory works with charophycean green algae and specifically, the cell biology and biochemistry of their cell walls and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). His main interest is in the elucidation of the evolution of cell wall macromolecules especially as they relate to the emergence of primitive land plants and the development of complex morphotypes. In addition, he is interested in the ways one group of CGA, the desmids, enter into biofilm communities of wetlands. The Domozych laboratory also has active research collaborations with the laboratories of William Willats (University of Copenhagen), Michael Gretz (Michigan Technological University) and Peter Ulvskov (University of Aarhus).
     Recent publications emanating from the lab can be found here.
