Physiological and transcriptomic evidence for a close coupling between chloroplast ontogeny and cell cycle progression in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta [PDF]
Despite the growing interest in diatom genomics, detailed time series of gene expression in relation to key cellular processes are still lacking. Here, we investigated the relationships between the cell cycle and chloroplast development in the pennate ...

ChloroScan: Recovering Plastid Genome Bins From Metagenomic Data
ABSTRACT Genome‐resolved metagenomics has contributed greatly to discovering prokaryotic genomes. When applied to microscopic eukaryotes (protists), challenges such as the high number of introns and repeat regions found in nuclear genomes have hampered the mining and discovery of novel protistan lineages.

Effects of different types of fertilizers on plankton productivity in earthen ponds [PDF]
Three fertilizer types (NPK, Super-phosphate and cow dung) were applied at two levels (Low, 0.3 kg/25m super(2)/2weeks and High, 0.7kg/25 m super(2)/2weeks) to 12 ponds with two ponds serving as control.

Phosphorus is a key element for cellular functions and poses significant challenges for planktonic microbial communities under limited availability. Metagenomics highlighted that heterotrophic bacteria predominantly relied on phosphate scavenging while eukaryotic phytoplankton primarily utilized membrane remodelling to cope with limited phosphorus ...

High-Up: A Remote Reservoir of Microbial Extremophiles in Central Andean Wetlands [PDF]
The Central Andes region displays unexplored ecosystems of shallow lakes and salt flats at mean altitudes of 3700 m. Being isolated and hostile, these so-called “High-Altitude Andean Lakes” (HAAL) are pristine and have been exposed to little human ...

Effects of River Beads on Algal Nutrient Limitation Following Severe Wildfire
ABSTRACT Severe wildfires often increase inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to streams, which can alter nutrient limitation and primary production of benthic algae. Changes in nutrient limitation, however, vary over space and time due to physical and biological factors.

Characterization of a trimeric light-harvesting complex in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum built of FcpA and FcpE proteins [PDF]
Fucoxanthin chlorophyll proteins (Fcps), the light-harvesting antennas of heterokont algae, are encoded by a multigene family and are highly similar with respect to their molecular masses as well as to their pigmentation, making it difficult to purify ...

Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...
