TL;DR: This easyPACId approach (easy Promoter Activated Compound Identification) facilitates NP identification due to low interference from other NPs and allows direct bioactivity testing of supernatants containing secreted NPs, without laborious purification.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic placement of two oomycete parasitoids one parasitic to Pseudo-nitzschia pungens and the other parasitic to Rhizosolenia imbricata is reported, report the taxonomy of Ectrogella-like organisms and Olpidiopsis is discussed and, as a consequence of morphological differences and phylogenetics, two new species are introduced.

TL;DR: Arctic marine Oomycota are a reservoir of uncharacterized biodiversity, the majority of which are probably parasites of diatoms, while others might cryptically cycle carbon or interface other unknown ecological processes.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic reconstructions in the current study revealed that O. saprolegniae from Saprolegnia parasitica forms a monophyletic group with a morphologically similar isolate from S. terrestris and all holocarpic parasites in red algae should be considered to be members of the genus Pontisma.

TL;DR: Successful cultivation of a single spore strain of L. coscinodisci (Isla) is reported, which opens up the opportunity to study the processes and mechanism in plankton/parasitoid interactions under controlled conditions.
