Optimizing CRISPR/Cas9 for the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful tool for genome editing. We constructed an easy-to-handle expression vector for application in the model organism Phaeodactylum tricornutum and tested its capabilities in order to apply CRISPR/Cas9 technology for our purpose. In

Phaeodactylum tricornutum : a diatom cell factory [PDF]
A switch from a petroleum-based to a biobased economy requires the capacity to produce both high-value low-volume and low-value high-volume products. Recent evidence supports the development of microalgae-based microbial cell factories with the objective

The Estimation of Biomass in Phaeodactylum Tricornutum Cultures [PDF]
Phaeodactylum tricornutum is the microalgae that is known to produce lipid. In this study, it was aimed to estimate the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum dry matter cultured in the conditions of nitrogen deficiency as a stress factor, in outdoor, in ...

NPF2 is involved in intracellular pH regulation and ion balance in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. [PDF]
Summary Cellular ion and pH homeostasis are crucial factors affecting and regulating metabolic reactions, protein stability, signalling and transport mechanisms. To balance intracellular ion concentrations, organisms need to constantly sense and respond to both the extracellular environment and cell compartments' requests.

Observations on Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
SUMMARY: Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin was isolated from a marine tank at Woods Hole, Mass., U.S.A. It appeared to be identical with the Plymouth strain of ‘Nitzschia closterium forma minutissima’. Cells were of two characteristic types, oval and fusiform, each of which remained constant for many cell divisions in clonal culture.

Plastidial ACP Δ9‐desaturase modulates EPA biosynthesis and TAG accumulation in Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
International audienceThe unicellular marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum accumulates up to 35% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n3) and has been used as a model organism to study long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) biosynthesis due to an

Genome Properties of the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Abstract Diatoms are a ubiquitous class of microalgae of extreme importance for global primary productivity and for the biogeochemical cycling of minerals such as silica. However, very little is known about diatom cell biology or about their genome structure.

Phylogenetic analysis and a review of the history of the accidental phytoplankter, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin (Bacillariophyta). [PDF]
The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum has been used as a model for cell biologists and ecologists for over a century. We have incorporated several new raphid pennates into a three gene phylogenetic dataset (SSU, rbcL, psbC), and recover Gomphonemopsis sp.

Identification of Loci Enabling Stable and High-Level Heterologous Gene Expression
Efficient and reliable genome engineering technologies have yet to be developed for diatoms. The delivery of DNA in diatoms results in the random integration of multiple copies, quite often leading to heterogeneous gene activity, as well as host ...

Action Spectrum of Photoinhibition in the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Light-dependent electron transfer is necessary for photosynthesis, but light also damages PSII. Light-induced damage to PSII is called photoinhibition, and the damaging reactions of photoinhibition are still under debate. Diatoms possess an exotic combination of light-harvesting pigments, Chls a/c and fucoxanthin, making them an interesting platform ...
