Trophic state alters the mechanism whereby energetic coupling between photosynthesis and respiration occurs in Euglena gracilis. [PDF]
Summary The coupling between mitochondrial respiration and photosynthesis plays an important role in the energetic physiology of green plants and some secondary‐red photosynthetic eukaryotes (diatoms), allowing an efficient CO2 assimilation and optimal growth. Using the flagellate Euglena gracilis, we first tested if photosynthesis–respiration coupling

A Mitochondrially Related Plastidial Transporter Regulates Photosynthesis in the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Eukaryotic phototrophs depend on the activity of two engines (the plastid and the mitochondrion) to generate the energy required for cellular metabolism. Because of their overlapping functions, both activities must be closely coordinated. At the plastid level, optimisation occurs through alternative electron transport, the diversion of excess ...

DiatOmicBase: a versatile gene-centered platform for mining functional omics data in diatom research. [PDF]
SUMMARY Diatoms are prominent microalgae found in all aquatic environments. Over the last 20 years, thanks to the availability of genomic and genetic resources, diatom species such as Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana have emerged as valuable experimental model systems for exploring topics ranging from evolution to cell biology ...

Different levels of energetic coupling between photosynthesis and respiration do not determine the occurrence of adaptive responses of Symbiodiniaceae to global warming. [PDF]
Summary Disentangling the metabolic functioning of corals' endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) is relevant to understanding the response of coral reefs to warming oceans. In this work, we first question whether there is an energetic coupling between photosynthesis and respiration in Symbiodiniaceae (Symbiodinium, Durusdinium and Effrenium), and second, how

Evaluation of alkenones, a renewably sourced, plant-derived wax as a structuring agent for lipsticks. [PDF]
In this study, a green, non‐animal derived wax, namely alkenones, sourced from marine microalgae was formulated into lipsticks and evaluated as a structuring agent and compared to microcrystalline wax, ozokerite and candelilla wax. Overall, the lipstick with 7% of alkenones (L4) in combination with microcrystalline wax, ozokerite and carnauba wax was ...

Our results suggest that Arctic diatoms species photoadaptation strategy is tuned to the light environment of the habitats in which they dominate and indeed drives the seasonal taxonomic succession. Abstract Diatoms of the Arctic Ocean annually experience extreme changes of light environment linked to photoperiodic cycles and seasonal variations of the

Evolution annuelle du peuplement zooplanctonique dans un lagunage à haut rendement et incidence du temps de séjour [PDF]
Proposé au début des années soixante par W.J. OSWALD, le lagunage dit « à haut rendement », utilisé pour l'épuration d'eaux usées domestiques, représente un écosystème hypereutrophe.
