The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman
Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

MicroorganismsIn this review dedicated to the great protistologist Edouard Chatton (1883–1947), I wanted to highlight the originality and remarkable diversity of some dinoflagellate protists through the lens of cell biology.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract This mini‐review examines odd‐carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (odd‐PUFAs), a rare but biologically significant group of fatty acids in photosynthetic microorganisms. Odd‐PUFAs are straight‐chain fatty acids containing an odd number of carbon atoms and two or more methylene‐interrupted double bonds. They typically account for less than 1% of

Toxic and non-toxic dinoflagellates host distinct bacterial communities in their phycospheres
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Dinoflagellates encompass highly abundant and diverse toxin-producing species among marine phytoplankton. Previous works suggested that some bacterial taxa may affect toxins production in dinoflagellates, however, little is known about impact of toxic ...

The artistry of dinoflagellate bioluminescence [PDF]
Materials Today: Proceedings, 2017 Dinoflagellates are unicellular organisms responsible for many spectacular displays of coastal bioluminescence. This phenomenon is both scientifically interesting and aesthetically beautiful. As part of my efforts to communicate my science to the general public, I developed an Artist-in-Residence program, offering artists the opportunity for direct ...

Transformation of Phytoplankton Communities in the High Arctic: Ecological Properties of Species
DiversityDuring the 84th cruise of the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in August 2021, patterns of phytoplankton composition transformation were revealed along a northward gradient. The study involved three transects in the Fram Strait and adjacent Arctic waters: a

Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY The dinophyte genus Scrippsiella is a common and ecologically important component of coastal microplankton communities, yet its species diversity in the Black Sea remains insufficiently resolved due to morphological similarity among taxa and the scarcity of integrative taxonomic studies. Here, we describe Scrippsiella phycobiana sp. nov., a new

The Goldilocks Effect: The Role of Temperature in Influencing Dinoflagellate Growth
Current: The Journal of Marine EducationCoral reef ecosystems, often referred to as the ‘rainforests of the sea,’ are vibrant ecosystems formed by millions of living coral polyps. Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs deliver vital benefits, including shoreline ...
