Isoprenoid biosynthesis in the diatom Haslea ostrearia [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 Summary Diatoms are eukaryotic, unicellular algae that are responsible for c. 20% of the Earth's primary production. Their dominance and success in contemporary oceans have prompted investigations on their distinctive metabolism and physiology. One metabolic pathway that remains largely unexplored in diatoms is isoprenoid biosynthesis, which is ...

Bacterial community structure of the marine diatom Haslea ostrearia [PDF]
Algal Research, 2016 Abstract Haslea ostrearia produces a water-soluble, blue-green pigment, called marennine, with proven economic benefits (as a bioactive compound used to green oysters, which improves their market value). Incomplete knowledge of the ecological features of this marine diatom complicates its cultivation.

Complex Relationships between the Blue Pigment Marennine and Marine Bacteria of the Genus Vibrio [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 Marennine, the water-soluble blue pigment produced by the marine diatom Haslea ostrearia, is known to display antibacterial activities. Previous studies have demonstrated a prophylactic effect of marennine on bivalve larvae challenged with a pathogenic ...

Sterol Biosynthesis in Four Green Algae: A Bioinformatic Analysis of the Ergosterol Versus Phytosterol Decision Point [PDF]
Journal of Phycology, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 1199-1211, August 2021., 2021 Animals and fungi produce cholesterol and ergosterol, respectively, while plants produce the phytosterols stigmasterol, campesterol, and β‐sitosterol in various combinations. The recent sequencing of many algal genomes allows the detailed reconstruction of the sterol metabolic pathways. Here, we characterized sterol synthesis in two sequenced Chlorella

Design of an artificial culture medium to optimize Haslea ostrearia biomass and marennine production [PDF]
Algal Research, 2020 The diatom Haslea ostrearia was first studied by Gaillon in the year 1820 because of the greening phenomenon of oysters in western France. This microalga has the capacity to produce and excrete a blue pigment, called marennine, that has antioxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties, with possible industrial applications related to aquaculture ...

Effect of Precipitated Extracellular Marennine on Angiogenesis and Tumour Cell Proliferation [PDF]
Marine DrugsAngiogenesis is a fundamental biological process involved in the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vascular network. In addition to physiological processes, angiogenesis is also implicated in pathological conditions such as tumour ...

Marennine, Promising Blue Pigments from a Widespread Haslea Diatom Species Complex [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2014 In diatoms, the main photosynthetic pigments are chlorophylls a and c, fucoxanthin, diadinoxanthin and diatoxanthin. The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long been known for producing, in addition to these generic pigments, a water-soluble blue

Isoprenoid biosynthesis in the diatoms Rhizosolenia setigera (Brightwell) and Haslea ostrearia (Simonsen). [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2004 Isoprenoid biosynthesis in the widespread diatomaceous algae, Rhizosolenia setigera (Brightwell) and Haslea ostrearia (Simonsen), results not only in the production of diterpenoids, triterpenoids, and sterols but, unusually for diatoms, also in the production of sesterterpenoids. By using
