Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive isolation among sympatric cryptic species in marine diatoms.
Alberto Amato,Wiebe H. C. F. Kooistra,Jung Hee Levialdi Ghiron,David G. Mann,Thomas Pröschold,Marina Montresor +5 more
TL;DR: These findings not only show that cryptic genetic variants abound in sympatry, but also that they are reproductively isolated and, therefore, biologically distinct units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome engineering empowers the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum for biotechnology
Fayza Daboussi,Sophie Leduc,Alan Maréchal,Gwendoline Dubois,Valérie Guyot,Christophe Perez-Michaut,Alberto Amato,Angela Falciatore,Angela Falciatore,Alexandre Juillerat,Marine Beurdeley,Daniel F. Voytas,Laurent Cavarec,Philippe Duchateau +13 more
TL;DR: The generation of an enhanced lipid-producing strain through the disruption of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase gene exemplifies the power of genome engineering to harness diatoms for biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle, size reduction patterns, and ultrastructure of the pennate planktonic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima (Bacillariophyceae)
TL;DR: Cell morphology, valve ultrastructure and morphometry of parental, F1‐generation strains, and the progeny of crosses between parental and F1 strains are investigated, and variability in cell shape was recorded in the largest cells of the F1 generation as well as in valves with an abnormal arrangement of poroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology, phylogeny, and sexual cycle of Pseudo-nitzschia mannii sp. nov. (Bacillariophyceae): a pseudo-cryptic species within the P. pseudodelicatissima complex
Alberto Amato,Marina Montresor +1 more
TL;DR: The morphology of the vegetative cell and sexual stages of Pseudo-nitzschia mannii sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
The lipid metabolism in thraustochytrids.
Christian Morabito,Caroline Bournaud,Cécile Maës,Martin Schuler,Riccardo Aiese Cigliano,Younès Dellero,Eric Maréchal,Alberto Amato,Fabrice Rébeillé +8 more
TL;DR: The different pathways involved in lipid and fatty acid syntheses are described, emphasizing their specificity, and the recent efforts aimed to engineer their lipid metabolism are reported on.
