Ocean-related global change alters lipid biomarker production in common marine phytoplankton [PDF]
Lipids, in their function as trophic markers in food webs and organic matter source indicators in the water column and sediments, provide a tool for reconstructing the complexity of global change effects on aquatic ecosystems.

The growing use of plastics, including microplastics (MPs), has enhanced their potential release into aquatic environments, where microalgae represent the basis of food webs. Due to their physicochemical properties, MPs may act as carriers of organic and inorganic pollutants.

Characterization of cell responses in Rhodomonas baltica exposed to PMMA nanoplastics
Due to their small size, nanoplastics (NPLs) possess specific properties which can potentiate their toxicity towards aquatic organisms. As primary producers, microalgae are at the base of aquatic food chains, thus negative impacts of NPLs will likely lead to disturbances in ecosystem productivity.

Controlling the nitrogen environment for optimal Rhodomonas salina production
AbstractThe microalga Rhodomonas salina is a widely used species for rearing live feed organisms in the aquaculture feed market. A species-specific medium is an essential step towards enhancing productivity and decreasing production costs for microalgae cultivation.

Crystallization of phycoerythrin 545 of Rhodomonas lens using detergents and unusual additives [PDF]
AbstractPhycoerythrin 545 from the cryptomonad alga, Rhodomonas lens, has been crystallized under a wide variety of conditions. Although this type of photosynthetic light‐harvesting protein is water soluble, detergents were always required for crystallization. The crystals were typically poorly ordered, or ordered in only two dimensions.

Localization of phycoerythrin at the lumenal surface of the thylakoid membrane in Rhodomonas lens. [PDF]
The thylakoids of cryptomonads are unique in that their lumens are filled with an electron-dense substance postulated to be phycobiliprotein. In this study, we used an antiserum against phycoerythrin (PE) 545 of Rhodomonas lens (gift of R. MacColl, New York State Department of Health, Albany, NY) and protein A-gold immunoelectron microscopy to localize

Light and temperature acclimation of Rhodomonas salina (Cryptophyceae): photosynthetic performance [PDF]
Blooms of phototrophic cryptophytes have been observed in the highly eutrophic estuar- ine Darss-Zingst Bodden Chain (DZBC), Germany, during prolonged periods of light limitation due to ice and snow covering. The present study analyses possible mechanisms by which Rhodomonas salina, as a surrogate for bloom forming DZBC cryptophytes, maintains large ...

Potential of microalgae as flavoring agents for plant-based seafood alternatives
The aroma and taste of eight different phototrophic microalgae species were investigated and compared with five seaweeds to evaluate their potential as flavor ingredients in plant-based seafood alternatives.
