Essential dietary fatty acids affect intraspecific competition in herbivorous zooplankton
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The trophic transfer efficiency at the pelagic phytoplankton‐zooplankton interface is—among other factors—governed by the dietary availability of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to herbivorous zooplankton. As most zooplankton taxa cannot synthesize PUFAs de novo, the phytoplankton PUFA composition is crucial for the herbivores' fitness. As

Diatoms: an amazing resource [PDF]
, 2018 Diatoms are unicellular microscopic algae with cell walls consisting of silicon dioxide with a small amount of water. The cell wall consists of two halves, like a box with a lid. The cell wall (frustule) has a specific pattern of tiny pores, each pattern

Spatial variability of phytoplankton pigment distributions in the Subtropical South Pacific Ocean: comparison between in situ and predicted data [PDF]
, 2007 In the frame of the BIOSOPE cruise in 2004, the spatial distribution and structure of phytoplankton pigments was investigated along a transect crossing the ultra-oligotrophic South Pacific Subtropical Gyre (SPSG) between the Marquesas Archipelago (141 ...

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Rapid warming in the Arctic have influenced the ecological and biogeochemical systems in the Arctic Ocean, particularly the phytoplankton community that plays a fundamental role in food webs and carbon cycle. Our 10‐yr study found an abrupt change in the phytoplankton community in the western Arctic Ocean basin between 2008 and 2018.

Distribution, sedimentation and fate of pigment biomarkers following thermal stratification in the western Alboran Sea [PDF]
, 1995 A spring investigation of the phytoplankton in the western Alboran Sea (Mediterranean) was undertaken using chlorophyll and carotenoid biomarkers to characterize the community in the water column and in drifting sediment traps set at 100 and 200 m ...

Assessment of Marine Microalgae's Bioactive Extracts Potential for Food Applications
Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 2, 29 January 2026.Extracts were obtained from Dunaliella and Pavlova microalgae using water and ethanol as solvents, combined with bead milling and osmotic shock strategies. The extracts were characterised in terms of protein, pigments, and phenolic compounds, and their potential for food applications was evaluated.

Fucoxanthin Derivatives: Synthesis and their Chemical Properties
Journal of Oleo Science, 2015 Novel fucoxanthin derivatives that could change the size of mixed micelles were synthesized. The mixed micelles under consideration consist of a bile acid and some additives. To change the affinity against a bile acid, we designed the synthesis of a fucoxanthin-lithocholic acid complex. Lithocholic acid is one of the bile acids. The 3-OH on lithocholic

Screening of antibacterial activity of fucoxanthin [PDF]
Proceedings of 5th International Electronic Conference on Medicinal Chemistry, 2019 Fucoxanthin is an orange-coloured pigment present in brown algae (Phaeophyceae) and diatoms (Bacillariophyceae). This non-provitamin A carotenoid shows various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, and anticancer properties. Its antimicrobial effect is not sufficiently confirmed.
