In marine sediments, DNA occurs both inside and outside living organisms. DNA not
enclosed in living cells may account for the largest fraction of total DNA, and include …

Coccolithophores are a group of unicellular plant plankton, which produce exoskeletons of
minute calcite plates, called coccoliths. Despite their small size (1− 10 µm across), coccoliths …

This is an annotated species-level overview and classification of living coccolithophores. It is
primarily intended to act as an aide memoire to coccolithophorid taxonomy, with brief notes …

Phylogenetic reconstructions of the diatoms have been inferred with the 18S and 16S
ribosomal RNA genes. Previous studies have shown that the group is divided into two major …

The current paradigm holds that cyanobacteria, which evolved oxygenic photosynthesis
more than 2 billion years ago, are still the major light harvesters driving primary productivity …

The Isochrysidaceae is a family of non-calcifying organisms within the haptophyte order
Isochrysidales. Isochrysis galbana, a species widely used as a food source in aquaculture …

The pigment compositions of 37 species (65 strains) of cultured haptophytes were analysed
using improved HPLC methods. We distinguished 8 pigment types based on the distribution …

Coccolithophores are a group of calcifying unicellular algae that constitute a major fraction
of oceanic primary productivity, play an important role in the global carbon cycle, and are …

Unlike their terrestrial equivalents, aquatic animals used as food by humans are rarely
herbivorous at the adult stage. Only filtering molluscs and a few other animals are true …

In this paper, I review what is currently known of phylogenetic relationships of heterokont
and haptophyte algae. Heterokont algae are a monophyletic group that is classified into 17 …
