The planktonic food web in the Gulf of Naples based on the analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Plankton play a key role in marine food webs by producing and transferring organic matter and energy to higher trophic levels. To define the trophic structure and interactions within the planktonic communities in the Gulf of Naples, we determined carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in particulate organic matter (POM, <20 μm ...

Understanding Bioluminescence in Dinoflagellates—How Far Have We Come? [PDF]

, 2013
Some dinoflagellates possess the remarkable genetic, biochemical, and cellular machinery to produce bioluminescence. Bioluminescent species appear to be ubiquitous in surface waters globally and include numerous cosmopolitan and harmful taxa ...

Distinctive Nuclear Features of Dinoflagellates with A Particular Focus on Histone and Histone-Replacement Proteins

Microorganisms, 2018
Dinoflagellates are important eukaryotic microorganisms that play critical roles as producers and grazers, and cause harmful algal blooms. The unusual nuclei of dinoflagellates “dinokaryon„ have led researchers to investigate their enigmatic ...

Dinoflagellates: ecological approaches and spatial distributions in Malaysia waters [PDF]

, 2017
Dinoflagellates are microscopic planktonic organisms that lead up the food chain in aquatic ecosystems. The naturally occurring phenomenon of Dinoflagellates blooming at the water surface brings detrimental effects to the economy as well as the ...

Cell death and degeneration in the symbiotic dinoflagellates of the coral Stylophora pistillata during bleaching [PDF]

, 2004
Rising sea temperatures are increasing the incidences of mass coral bleaching (the dissociation of the coral–algal symbiosis) and coral mortality. In this study, the effects of bleaching (induced by elevated light and temperature) on the condition of ...

Seasonal and Long-Term Phytoplankton Dynamics in the Middle Caspian According to Satellite Data and In Situ Observations in the First Decades of the 21st Century

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Seasonal and long-term variability of phytoplankton in the Middle Caspian was studied based on remote sensing data of the sea by SeaWiFS and MODIS-Aqua scanners in 1998–2021 and the results of field observations in 2004–2021.

Characterization of a Fungal Modular Polyketide Synthase System Reveals an Unusual Strategy for Polyketide Chain Initiation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Fungal modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) remain largely unexplored. Functional characterization of the LasC/LasD assembly line established its role in strasseriolide C biosynthesis and suggested an unexpected strategy for chain initiation, in which a malonyl unit is transferred from the module 2 acyl carrier protein (ACP) domains to the loading ACP ...
