Taxonomically diverse marine, freshwater and terrestrial organisms have evolved the
capacity to synthesize, accumulate and metabolize a variety of UV-absorbing substances …

Seaweed polyphenols are potent antioxidants and have also been shown to have α-
glucosidase inhibiting activity. In our continuous efforts to develop new marine-based …

The pyrenoid is a phase-separated organelle that enhances photosynthetic carbon

This chapter reviews the nature of pigment variations in phytoplankton in response to
changes in light regime (irradiance, spectral composition and daylength). These changes …

Coccolithophores are major contributors to global marine planktonic calcification, and in
nature coccolithophores are invariably calcified through almost all of their life cycle. The …

Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration affects calcification in most planktonic calcifiers.
Both reduced or stimulated calcification under high CO2 have been reported in the …
