ABSTRACT Microalgae are increasingly recognised as powerful platforms for the sustainable production of lipids and terpenoids, with expanding applications in the food, fuel and biomanufacturing industries. In this updated review, we consolidate and critically assess the most recent advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of key ...

Screening of antibacterial activity of fucoxanthin [PDF]
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.

Distribution, sedimentation and fate of pigment biomarkers following thermal stratification in the western Alboran Sea [PDF]
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 ...

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity, the capacity of organisms to adjust phenotypes in response to environmental changes, is essential in understanding ecological and physiological resilience under climate stress. Here, we introduce a novel statistical approach, the Environmentally Standardised Plasticity Index (*ESPI), which integrates Hedges'g for ...
