Comparative analysis of phycoerythrin production in cryptophytes [PDF]

Journal of applied phycology, 2022
Phycobiliproteins are pigments with uses in pharmacology, cosmetics, foods, and as fluorescent probes in biochemistry. Cryptophyte microalgae are one possible source of phycobiliproteins as well as other molecules such as omega-3 fatty acids.

Hydrodynamic Effects of Mastigonemes in the Cryptophyte Chilomonas paramecium

Hydrobiology
Many swimming protists travel by actuating whip-like flagella to generate thrust. While many organisms’ flagella have been observed to have hair-like protrusions called mastigonemes, the function of these mastigonemes is not known. In particular, however,

Apparent shifts in the microplankton community in response to zinc and iron enrichments in the Northeastern Subarctic Pacific

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The offshore Gulf of Alaska—in the northeastern subarctic Pacific—is a high-nitrate, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) oceanic region where concentrations of dissolved iron (DFe) and zinc (DZn) are of the order ~0.1 nmol kg−1 in surface waters.

Cryptic Cryptophytes: The Plasticity in How Cryptophytes Respond to Changes in Resource Availability [PDF]

, 2022
Resource variability and availability often drives competition within ecosystems, which can lead to the diversification of organismal niches and physiological capabilities. In aquatic systems, common resources that photosynthetic organisms, such as algae,

Water Quality Improvement Shifts the Dominant Phytoplankton Group From Cryptophytes to Diatoms in a Coastal Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
We investigated long-term variations in the dominant phytoplankton groups with improvements in water quality over 11 years in the Yeongil Bay on the southeastern coast of Korea. River discharge declined during the study period but TN from river discharge

Promising Biomolecules with High Antioxidant Capacity Derived from Cryptophyte Algae Grown under Different Light Conditions

Biology, 2022
The accumulation and production of biochemical compounds in microalgae are influenced by available light quality and algal species-specific features. In this study, four freshwater cryptophyte strains (Cryptomonas ozolinii, C. pyrenoidifera, C.
