The complete plastid genome and phylogenetic analysis of Codium fragile

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
Codium fragile, a nutrient-rich green algae that is both edible and medicinal, it is called a ‘rat tail’ because of its unique shape, it can reach up to a metre in length and has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, detumescence and water, and

Temperate seaweeds Himanthalia elongata and Fucus vesiculosus significantly reduce rumen methane emissions in vitro due to their high phlorotannin content

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Global food insecurity and the fact that food production contributes around 30% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a major planetary challenge. Ruminant products are widely consumed since they are macro‐ and micronutrient dense; however, ruminants produce enteric methane (CH4), a potent GHG.

First record of Botryococcus braunii Kützing from Namibia

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2019
Background: Botryococcus braunii is well known from all continents, but it has been sparsely recorded from Africa compared to other continents. The alga recently formed a rusty orange-red bloom in the Tilda Viljoen Dam, situated near Gobabis in Namibia ...

Complete mitogenome of the chlorophyte green alga Marsupiomonas sp. NIES 1824 (Pedinophyceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The 25,137-bp mitogenome of the green alga Pedinomonas minor (Pedinomonadales, Pedinophyceae), which belongs to a basal class of the core Chlorophyta, is unusual in displaying a reduced gene content as well as other derived traits.

Nutrient inversion but not warming drive changes in periphyton biomass and composition in shallow lake mesocosms

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Periphyton plays an important functional role in shallow lakes and is sensitive to variation in nutrient availability and global warming. Understanding the responses of periphyton to changes in nutrient availability in contrasting warming scenarios can contribute to the development of more efficient techniques for the restoration of lakes in a

The genome and phenome of the green alga Chloroidium sp. UTEX 3007 reveal adaptive traits for desert acclimatization

eLife, 2017
To investigate the phenomic and genomic traits that allow green algae to survive in deserts, we characterized a ubiquitous species, Chloroidium sp. UTEX 3007, which we isolated from multiple locations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria reduce zooplankton quality and pelagic food web efficiency

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms in marine and freshwater ecosystems have increased in magnitude, frequency, and distribution worldwide during recent decades. Filamentous cyanobacteria are of unsuitable size for mesozooplankton feeding and of poorer nutritional quality than other phytoplankton taxa. The production and quality of higher trophic levels are

Large, double‐stranded DNA viruses tend to suppress phytoplankton populations more effectively than small viruses of diverse genome type

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Viruses infecting aquatic microbes vary immensely in size, but the ecological consequences of virus size are poorly understood. Here we used a unique suite of diverse phytoplankton strains and their viruses, all isolated from waters around Hawai'i, to assess whether virus size affects the suppression of host populations.

Phylotranscriptomics unveil a Paleoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic origin and deep relationships of the Viridiplantae

Nature Communications, 2023
The Viridiplantae comprise two main clades, the Chlorophyta (including a diverse array of marine and freshwater green algae) and the Streptophyta (consisting of the freshwater charophytes and the land plants).
