Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Microalgal lipids are highly promising feedstocks for biofuel production. Microalgal lipids,
especially triacylglycerol, and practical applications of these compounds have received …

Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Beyond fuelling cellular activities with building blocks and energy, metabolism also
integrates environmental conditions into intracellular signals. The underlying regulatory …

PII proteins are multitasking information-processing proteins occurring in bacteria, archaea,
and plastids, decoding the metabolic state of the cells and providing this information to …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) emplacements are low-complexity natural systems. Low-pH
conditions appear to be the main factor underlying the limited diversity of the microbial …

ABSTRACT Carbon/nitrogen (C/N) balance sensing is a key requirement for the
maintenance of cellular homeostasis. Therefore, cyanobacteria have evolved a …

In addition to light and water, CO 2 and mineral elements are required for plant growth and
development. Among these factors, nitrogen is critical, since it is needed to synthesize …

We constructed a fluorescent sensor of adenylate nucleotides by combining a circularly
permuted variant of GFP with a bacterial regulatory protein, GlnK1, from Methanococcus …

We present a comprehensive overview of the hierarchical network of intracellular processes
revolving around central nitrogen metabolism in Escherichia coli. The hierarchy intertwines …
