Algal Research, 2018 Abstract Selection of highly productive algal strains is crucial for establishing economically viable biomass and bioproduct cultivation systems. Characterization of algal genomes, including understanding strain-specific differences in genome content and architecture is a critical step in this process.

, 2016 Abstact The trebouxiophycean genus Phyllosiphon includes unique and little known phototrophic green algae that form endophytic siphonous stages within the members of Araceae. In total, six parasitic species of the genus Phyllosiphon were originally described from the leaves of Araceae, but the only known DNA sequences were acquired from P.

Suitability of Phytosterols Alongside Fatty Acids as Chemotaxonomic Biomarkers for Phytoplankton [PDF]
, 2016 The composition and abundance of phytoplankton is an important factor defining ecological status of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Chemotaxonomic markers (e.g., pigments and fatty acids) are needed for monitoring changes in a phytoplankton community ...

The mitochondrial genome of the entomoparasitic green alga helicosporidium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Helicosporidia are achlorophyllous, non-photosynthetic protists that are obligate parasites of invertebrates. Highly specialized, these pathogens feature an unusual cyst stage that dehisces inside the infected organism and releases a ...
