mSystems, 2017 Diatoms are eukaryotic microalgae that are responsible for up to 40% of the ocean’s primary productivity. How diatoms respond to environmental perturbations such as elevated carbon concentrations in the atmosphere is currently poorly understood.

Unravelling Past Population Events in Diatoms With Genomic Based Demographic Inferences
Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT The biological productivity in the Southern Ocean is mainly driven by the abundance of phytoplankton, which changes with seasons, fluctuations in sea ice and iron as well as light availability. The distribution of biological productivity is further modulated by ocean currents.

The Impact of Ocean Acidification on the Sorption of Trace Metals by Diatoms
Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Diatoms are a major phytoplankton group that plays a critical role in aquatic biogeochemical processes. Their metabolism relies on trace metals as cofactors for numerous enzymes, and changes in seawater pH may therefore influence metal sorption. Here, we investigated the effects of pH variability on diatom growth and trace‐metal sorption using

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 372-383, July 2026.Summary Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms fine‐tune light utilisation in the photosynthetic antenna, for example, in response to excess light, to prevent photodamage. NPQ comprises distinct mechanisms, all contributing to photoprotection but acting on different time scales.

Beyond red/far‐red sensing: phytochrome perception of the marine light field by microalgae
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2837-2844, June 2026.Summary Phytochromes (PHYs) are a major group of photoreceptors, described as red and far‐red light sensors in land plants. Recent genomic and metagenomic explorations have revealed the presence of PHYs also in various eukaryotic microalgae originating from distinct endosymbiotic events.

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.SUMMARY Population‐scale genome sequencing has become essential for exploring genetic diversity and adaptation, particularly in land plants. In contrast, eukaryotic phytoplankton resources remain limited to model reference genomes or community‐level metagenomics, leaving a gap in understanding intraspecific variation and evolutionary processes.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 10, Page 1491-1518, May 2026.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)
