C-Quest investigates algal sugar polymers, known as glycans, in the ocean to understand their role in carbon cycling and sequestration. The project focuses on marine diatoms and their ability to secrete stable glycans, which may enhance carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere.
The scientific frontier project C-Quest will study algal sugar polymers - glycans - in the ocean to resolve their contribution to global carbon cycling and sequestration. C-Quest will explore the hypothesis that marine diatoms, which fix similar amounts of carbon as tropical forests on a global scale, secrete glycan types that are stable, meaning harder to degrade for bacteria than other substrates.
This stability results in glyco-carbon sequestration removing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide f…
