报告人简介Speakers Biography
Prof. Dr. Beata Messyasz (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland)
Ph.D., D.Sc. Beata Messyasz is since 2016 a Professor at the Hydrobiology Department, Institute of Environmental Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. She obtained her Ph.D. and habilitation from AMU in Biology (Hydrobiology, Phycology) and continued her research in environmental biology and ecology of algae in various projects at the same University. In the years 2016–2020 she was the Vice-Dean for science and international cooperation at the Faculty of Biology of the AMU. From 2020, she is the Dean of the Faculty of Biology. Her scientific interest include the dynamics of phytoplankton and phytobenthos assemblages in reservoirs of different trophic state. In addition, she specializes in the role of micro- and macroalgae in the primary production and relationship between trophic state and algae life cycle strategies and their survival in a variable environment.
She has published more than 80 research papers and 23 book chapters. The total IF of publications from the ISI Master Journal List is 294.38. The Hirsch index is 23. She delivered 44 lectures upon invitation, she co-authored 312 posters or oral presentations presented at international and national conferences. She took (take) part in the implementation of 17 research grants, acting as the project manager in 12 of them. Promotion of licentiate's and master's theses at the Faculty of Biology Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan covers respectively 39 and 62 students. Since 2016, she has been the national coordinator of the Night of Biologists, which annually prepares over 30 scientific units (Universities, Botanical Gardens, Institutes of PAN) in Poland.
Even 10 years ago, it was difficult to find any scientific papers on freshwater macroalgae. It sparked her interest in the chemical composition and other properties of micro- and macroscopic green algae. Her further research achievements include: (i) determining the physicochemical reasons for the ecological dominance of freshwater micro- and macroalgae in inland waters; (ii) recognizing bioactive compounds in algal biomass (e.g. polysaccharide sulphates (ulvans) in the cell walls of green macroalgae, increasing the strength of cell walls during the growing season and facilitate the creation of large mats; (iii) quantitative determination of polyphenols (allelopathic substances) released into the environment by algae as a result of biotic stress; (iv) microplastic pollution of freshwaters – results was published in the prestigious Nature. The results of research are also three patents:
(1) “Bio-fertilizer for increasing the starch content in potato tubers” – Polish Patent Office (10.09.2021), after considering the application number P.438915
(2) “Plant growth biostimulator” – Polish Patent Office (01.08.2018), after considering the application number P.412074
(3) “Cosmetic composition” – Polish Patent Office (02.12.2016), after considering the application number P.412075
