Metabolic Innovations Underpinning the Origin and Diversification of the Diatom Chloroplast

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2019
Of all the eukaryotic algal groups, diatoms make the most substantial contributions to photosynthesis in the contemporary ocean. Understanding the biological innovations that have occurred in the diatom chloroplast may provide us with explanations to the

Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Sphaerosorus coelastroides Pascher (Xanthophyceae) from Central Appalachia, Clinch River, Virginia, United States. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Phycol
Abstract This report describes the isolation and culture of Sphaerosorus coelastroides from the plankton of a freshwater river in the central Appalachian mountain chain. This alga was first observed in a dry freshwater riverbed in Central Europe in 1908 and, since then, has been included in Xanthophyceae surveys from nearly all continents with ...

Phylogenomics reshuffles the eukaryotic supergroups. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
Resolving the phylogenetic relationships between eukaryotes is an ongoing challenge of evolutionary biology. In recent years, the accumulation of molecular data led to a new evolutionary understanding, in which all eukaryotic diversity has been ...

Evolution of the genetic code in the mitochondria of Labyrinthulea (Stramenopiles)

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2020
Mitochondrial translation often exhibits departures from the standard genetic code, but the full spectrum of these changes has certainly not yet been described and the molecular mechanisms behind the changes in codon meaning are rarely studied. Here we report a detailed analysis of the mitochondrial genetic code in the stramenopile group Labyrinthulea (

Convergent recruitment of TALE homeodomain life cycle regulators to direct sporophyte development in land plants and brown algae

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Three amino acid loop extension homeodomain transcription factors (TALE HD TFs) act as life cycle regulators in green algae and land plants. In mosses these regulators are required for the deployment of the sporophyte developmental program.

Drifting marine plastics as new ecological habitats for harmful eukaryotic microbial communities in Jeju Strait, Korea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Micro/macro plastics are ubiquitous and are emerging agents causing many ecological problems in marine environments. Plastics carry various fouling organisms, including harmful microorganisms, that could potentially have ecological impacts on the marine ...

Iron acquisition and allocation in stramenopile algae [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2013
The essential element iron has a low biological availability in the surface ocean where photosynthetic organisms live. Recent advances in our understanding of iron acquisition mechanisms in brown algae and diatoms (stramenopile algae) show the importance of the reduction of ferric to ferrous iron prior to, or during, transport in the uptake process ...

Broad distribution of TPI-GAPDH fusion proteins among eukaryotes: evidence for glycolytic reactions in the mitochondrion?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Glycolysis is a central metabolic pathway in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, the textbook view is that glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.

A Phylogenomic Framework to Study the Diversity and Evolution of Stramenopiles (=Heterokonts) [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2016
Stramenopiles or heterokonts constitute one of the most speciose and diverse clades of protists. It includes ecologically important algae (such as diatoms or large multicellular brown seaweeds), as well as heterotrophic (e.g., bicosoecids, MAST groups) and parasitic (e.g., Blastocystis, oomycetes) species.

Stramenopiles: hairs

open access: yes, 2016
Mostra uma imagem de Stramenopiles. O flagelo anterior mostra pêlos tripartidos, pelos quais o grupo é definido. A parte mais longa deste pêlo é um espinho rígido, que termina em um ou poucos pêlos finos fixados em um flagelo por um pouco de substância ...
