Diatoms sustain the marine food web and contribute to the export of carbon from the surface
ocean to depth. They account for about 40% of marine primary productivity and particulate …

A switch from a petroleum-based to a biobased economy requires the capacity to produce
both high-value low-volume and low-value high-volume products. Recent evidence supports …

Diatoms are the world's most diverse group of algae, comprising at least 100,000 species.
Contributing~ 20% of annual global carbon fixation, they underpin major aquatic food webs …

Diatoms are one of the most successful and ecologically important groups of eukaryotic
phytoplankton in the modern ocean. Deciphering their genomes is a key step towards better …

Xanthophyll cycle‐related nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ), which is present in most
photoautotrophs, allows dissipation of excess light energy. Xanthophyll cycle‐related NPQ …

The genomic era of biology has created unprecedented opportunity to study how life works,
including understanding evolutionary principles, bioprospecting for novel antibiotics, and …

Abstract Background The marine diatoms Thalassiosira pseudonana and Phaeodactylum
tricornutum are valuable model organisms for exploring the evolution, diversity and ecology …

Brown algae have convergently evolved plant‐like body plans and reproductive cycles,
which in plants are controlled by differential DNA methylation. This contribution provides the …

Diatoms emerged in the Mesozoic period and presently constitute one of the main primary
producers in the world's ocean and are of a major economic importance. In the current study …

The relative importance of different ecological processes that shape community structure is a
central but poorly understood topic in protist ecology. This study used an 18S rRNA gene …
