Deciphering the Allosteric Process of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Aureochrome 1a LOV Domain [PDF]
The conformational-driven allosteric protein diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum aureochrome 1a (PtAu1a) di ers from other light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) proteins for its uncommon structural topology. The mechanism of signaling transduction in PtAu1a LOV domain

Characterization of a trimeric light-harvesting complex in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum built of FcpA and FcpE proteins [PDF]
Fucoxanthin chlorophyll proteins (Fcps), the light-harvesting antennas of heterokont algae, are encoded by a multigene family and are highly similar with respect to their molecular masses as well as to their pigmentation, making it difficult to purify ...

Modelling metabolism of the diatomPhaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Marine diatoms have potential as a biotechnological production platform, especially for lipid-derived products, including biofuels. Here we introduce some features of diatom metabolism, particularly with respect to photosynthesis, photorespiration and lipid synthesis and their differences relative to other photosynthetic eukaryotes.

Extrachromosomal Genetic Engineering of the Marine Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Enables the Heterologous Production of Monoterpenoids [PDF]
Geraniol is a commercially relevant plant-derived monoterpenoid that is a main component of rose essential oil and used as insect repellent. Geraniol is also a key intermediate compound in the biosynthesis of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs), a ...

The Taxonomic Position of Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
SUMMARY: A revised taxonomic description of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin is presented, with special emphasis on the details of the silica valve, a structure hitherto unobserved. The features distinguishing P. tricornutum from Nitzschia closterium (Ehr.) W. Sm., with which it has frequently been confused, are summarized.

High-efficiency nuclear transformation of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum by electroporation [PDF]
We established a high-efficiency nuclear transformation method for the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum using an electroporation system. Based on a universal electroporation protocol, the conditions for the introduction of exogenous DNA including ...

Photosynthetic Enhancement in the Diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum [PDF]
Enhancement phenomena in photosynthesis of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Lewin were studied by means of a Haxo oxygen electrode and 2 monochromatic light beams. It was necessary to correct for a minor non-linearity in rate oxygen evolution vs. intensity similar to that reported for Chlorella.
