Across much of the Arctic, lakes and ponds dominate the landscape. Starting in late September, the lakes are covered in ice, with ice persisting well into June or early July.

In contrast to diatoms, cryptophytes are susceptible to iron limitation, but not to ocean acidification [PDF]
Previous field studies in the Southern Ocean (SO) indicated an increased occurrence and dominance of cryptophytes over diatoms due to climate change. To gain a better mechanistic understanding of how the two ecologically important SO phytoplankton groups

Lateral transfer of introns in the cryptophyte plastid genome [PDF]
Cryptophytes are unicellular eukaryotic algae that acquired photosynthesis secondarily through the uptake and retention of a red-algal endosymbiont. The plastid genome of the cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina CCMP1319 was recently sequenced and found to contain a genetic element similar to a group II intron. Here, we explore the distribution, structure and

The colorful world of cryptophyte phycobiliproteins
AbstractCryptophytes are flagellated, eukaryotic phytoplankton found in environments ranging from tea-colored ponds to the blue-water open ocean. Cryptophytes vary in color from green to red, a trait that is imparted primarily by their phycobiliprotein (PBP) accessory pigments.

Refining Cryptophyte Identification with DNA-Microarrays [PDF]
Communicating editor: K.J. Flynn The division Cryptophyta, Class Cryptophyceae, contains ecologically important species that are found in all kinds of aquatic habitats. The identification of the Cryptophyta is challenged by a need to examine species in the SEM or TEM to visualize features needed to identify its species.

Two evolutionarily distinct systems for cytochrome c maturation in mitochondria—Systems I and III—have been found among diverse aerobic eukaryotes. System I requires a set of proteins including mitochondrion-encoded CcmA, CcmB, CcmC, and CcmF (or a ...

Non-photochemical quenching in cryptophyte alga Rhodomonas salina is located in chlorophyll a/c antennae. [PDF]
Photosynthesis uses light as a source of energy but its excess can result in production of harmful oxygen radicals. To avoid any resulting damage, phototrophic organisms can employ a process known as non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), where excess light ...

Toxic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Dinophysis acquire plastids indirectly from cryptophytes through the consumption of the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum. Dinophysis acuminata harbours three genes encoding plastid-related proteins, which are thought
