TL;DR: Analysis of molecular divergence compared with yeasts and metazoans reveals rapid rates of gene diversification in diatoms, and documents the presence of hundreds of genes from bacteria, likely to provide novel possibilities for metabolite management and for perception of environmental signals.

TL;DR: Certain genes involved in structural organization, Ci transport and the energization of the latter have been identified and Massive Ci fluxes associated with the CO2-concentrating mechanism have wide-reaching ecological and geochemical implications.

TL;DR: It appears that the concentrating mechanism in both cell types may be dependent upon an energy supply linked to both phosphorylation in general and photophosphorylation, and its possible occurrence in other algae is assessed.

TL;DR: DNA microarrays bearing nearly all of the genes of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 were used to examine the temporal program of gene expression during acclimation from low to high light intensity.

TL;DR: A detailed synthesis of carbohydrate metabolism in diatoms based on the genome sequences of Thalassiosira pseudonana and Phaeodactylum tricornutum is presented, which provides novel insights into acquisition of dissolved inorganic carbon and primary metabolic pathways of carbon in two different diats, which is of significance for an improved understanding of global carbon cycles.
