Identification and functional analysis of class 3 lipases associated with triacylglycerol metabolism in Nannochloropsis oceanica (Eustigmatophyceae)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microalgae accumulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) as storage lipids in response to nutrient limitation, yet the mechanisms governing TAG turnover remain incompletely understood. In the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, functional studies of TAG degradation have focused on lipases containing patatin domains, whereas the roles of other ...

Characterization of endogenous promoters of GapC1 and GS for recombinant protein expression in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

MicrobiologyOpen, 2021
Although diatoms have been utilized as a cellular factory to produce biopharmaceuticals, recombinant proteins, and biofuels, only a few numbers of gene promoters are available. Therefore, the development of novel endogenous promoters is essential for the

A New Algivorous Heterolobosean Amoeba, Euplaesiobystra perlucida sp. nov. (Tetramitia, Discoba), Isolated from Pilot-Scale Cultures of Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is regarded as a prospective “cell factory” for the high-value products fucoxanthin and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). However, contamination with grazing protozoa is a significant barrier to its commercial cultivation.

Impact of the invasive diatom species Cymbella janischii on riverine microbial biofilm communities and a potential role of bacterially produced zeatin

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1221-1239, August 2026.
Abstract The diatom Cymbella janischii is an invasive species in Japan, causing nuisance blooms by forming thick mats in rivers. To date, there are no documented studies on the microbiome associations in C. janischii mats or the processes that drive bloom formation.

Role of extracellular carbonic anhydrase in the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1161-1171, August 2026.
Summary Diatoms are major primary producers in productive polar oceans, where cold temperatures and high CO2 solubility raise questions as to whether they rely on the CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM) to saturate photosynthesis. Knowledge of CCM function will help better predict the sensitivity of diatom primary production to warming and acidifying ...

Multilevel genomic constraints shape nuclear tRNA gene organization in plants

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 3, August 2026.
SUMMARY Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are essential components of the translation machinery. Their abundance and diversity shape decoding capacity as well as the efficiency and accuracy of protein synthesis. Because tRNA abundance is encoded in the genome through tDNA copy number, chromosomal organization, and cis‐regulatory sequences controlling transcription,
