Laminarin, a Major Polysaccharide in Stramenopiles [PDF]
During the processes of primary and secondary endosymbiosis, different microalgae evolved to synthesis different storage polysaccharides. In stramenopiles, the main storage polysaccharides are β-1,3-glucan, or laminarin, in vacuoles. Currently, laminarin

The life cycle of fatty acids in oleaginous stramenopiles: from synthesis to maturation and beyond [PDF]
Stramenopiles, including diatoms, eustigmatophytes and thraustochytrids, are major contributors to global primary productivity and promising platforms for lipid accumulation and very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.

Transposable Element Evolution in Stramenopiles and Choanoflagellates [PDF]
Transposable elements are parasitic mobile elements that can transpose within host genomes and may have a large impact on the host evolution. Despite this, very few studies have looked into how transposable elements themselves have evolved within ...

Soil algae in arable land: changes in the genotypic community composition across time points and farming systems—a pilot study [PDF]
IntroductionSoil algae, including Cyanobacteria, in the topsoils of arable land are essential for many valuable effects on soil texture and fertility. However, the constant changes and disturbances caused by agricultural practices create a challenging ...

Evolution and diversity of stramenopiles
Stramenopiles are a diverse eukaryotic supergroup with considerable genomic information available. Nevertheless, the relationships between major stramenopiles subgroups remain unresolved and incongruent between analyses, in part due to a lack of data ...
