The Azolla lab, lead by Dr. Henriette Schluepmann focusses on three main Azolla related themes:

1. Domestication
2. Ecology
3. Production and application

Domestication
Azolla domestication aims to study and regulate molecular mechanisms key to Azolla growth and reproduction. Please also find this key publication on Azolla domestication, part of the thesis of Dr. Paul Brouwer.

Ecology
The Azolla ecology sub-project focusses firstly on the microbial symbiosis essential to Azollas special properties. Secondly, it focusses on the ecology of Azolla in its natural setting here in the Netherlands.

Production en application
Growing Azolla in agricultural settings in the Dutch climate en researching applications of Azolla biomass. Please also find the thesis of Dr. Paul Brouwerr.
