Calcified macroalgae are essential components of marine ecosystem, yet much of their
physiology remains to be understood. Here, the nutrient (NO3–and PO4–3) uptake …

Parasitic red algae are an interesting system for investigating the genetic changes that occur
in parasites. These parasites have evolved independently multiple times within the red …

Plastid proteins are one of the main components in red algae. In order to clarify the
angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides from red alga Palmaria …

Abstract Background The Cyanidiophyceae is an early-diverged red algal class that thrives
in extreme conditions around acidic hot springs. Although this lineage has been highlighted …

Mazzaella, a genus with no genomic resources available, has extensive distribution in the
cold waters of the Pacific, where they represent ecologically and economically important …

Selection of appropriate genetic markers to quantify phylogenetic diversity is crucial for
community ecology studies. Yet, systematic evaluation of marker genes for this purpose is …

Kappaphycus alvarezii is a large commercial tropical marine red alga. In this study we used
next-generation sequencing to determine the complete plastid genome of K. alvarezii. The …

The Balbianiales is one of only three strictly freshwater orders in the red algal subclass
Nemaliophycidae. To date, organellar genomes for one of the 11 orders have been …

Corallina officinalis is a calcifying red alga, common in tide pools in the North Atlantic with
occasional reports from the north-east Pacific. It is an important habitat-forming alga …

Abstract Betaphycus, Eucheuma and Kappaphycus (Gigartinales, Florideophyceae) are the
most commercially important genera of the family Solieriaceae that produce carrageenan …
