The Effect of Nitrogen Starvation on Biomass Yield and Biochemical Constituents of Rhodomonas sp. [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The microalgae Rhodomonas sp. is known as an excellent feed source for live feed organisms such as copepods. The main benefits of feeding Rhodomonas to live feed animals are attributed to the relative high polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) level, the ...

Influence of Salinity on Growth and Phycoerythrin Production of Rhodomonas salina [PDF]
Squalen, 2018 Microalgae is a photoautotroph organism capable of producing various photosynthetic pigments with diverse beneficial properties. Rhodomonas salina, a Cryptophyte cell, contains only phycoerythrin as its phycobiliprotein pigment.

Structural analysis of PSI-ACPI and PSII-ACPII supercomplexes from a cryptophyte alga Rhodomonas sp. NIES-2332 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceLight energy is converted to chemical energy by two photosystems (PSI and PSII) in complex with their light-harvesting complex proteins (LHCI and LHCII) in photosynthesis. Rhodomonas is a member of cryptophyte alga whose LHCs contain unique chlorophyll a/

Excess Food Availability Can Have Detrimental Effects on Planktotrophic Larvae: Evaluation of the Quantitative Feeding on Sea Urchin Paracentrotus lividus Larval Rearing [PDF]
Aquaculture NutritionLarval rearing in echinoculture still has room for optimization in order to reach economical soundness and commercial-scale production. One of the key factors in larval feeding is to provide larvae the necessary energy for metamorphosis into juveniles ...

Effect of light quality and quantity on productivity and phycoerythrin concentration in the cryptophyte Rhodomonas sp. [PDF]
Journal of Applied Phycology, 2021 AbstractThe cryptophyteRhodomonassp.is a potential feed source for aquaculture live feed and resource for phycoerythrin (PE) production. This research investigates the influence of light, both quality and quantity, on the biomass productivity, composition and growth rate ofRhodomonassp.

Toxicity of ten herbicides to the tropical marine microalgae Rhodomonas salina [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 Herbicide contamination of nearshore tropical marine ecosystems is widespread and persistent; however, risks posed by most ‘alternative’ herbicides to tropical marine microalgae remain poorly understood.

Increased prey choice is associated with higher kleptoplastidic reliance in Mesodinium ciliates. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Kleptoplastidic organisms display varying levels of reliance on stolen plastids, with some lineages evolving complex strategies for plastid (and other organelle) integration into metabolism. More complex methods of plastid integration typically coincide with greater prey specialization, but it remains unclear whether or how kleptoplastidic ...

Eukaryovorous Predation in Evolutionarily Significant Excavate-Like Flagellates. [PDF]
J Eukaryot MicrobiolABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) resembled contemporary excavates, a non‐monophyletic group of deep branching flagellates. Here we explore the functional ecology of distantly related deep‐branching “excavate‐like” flagellates (in Alveolata and Provora) that share with many excavates a vane‐bearing ...

Lineage-specific expansions of polinton-like viruses in photosynthetic cryptophytes [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Polinton-like viruses (PLVs) are diverse eukaryotic DNA viral elements (14–40 kb) that often undergo significant expansion within protist genomes through repeated insertion events. Emerging evidence indicates they function as antiviral defense
