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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative metatranscriptomics identifies molecular bases for the physiological responses of phytoplankton to varying iron availability
Adrian Marchetti,David M. Schruth,Colleen A. Durkin,Micaela S. Parker,Robin B Kodner,Chris T. Berthiaume,Rhonda Morales,Andrew E. Allen,E. Virginia Armbrust +8 more
TL;DR: Oceanic diatoms appear to display a distinctive transcriptional response to iron enrichment that allows chemical reduction of available nitrogen and carbon sources along with a continued dependence on iron-free photosynthetic proteins rather than substituting for iron-containing functional equivalents present within their gene repertoire.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome expression profiling of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana identifies genes involved in silicon bioprocesses.

TL;DR: In conclusion, genome-wide transcriptome analyses of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana provide insights into the transcriptional and translational basis for the biological generation of elaborate silicon nanostructures by these ecologically important microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitin in diatoms and its association with the cell wall
TL;DR: The ability to produce chitin is more widespread and likely plays a more central role in diatom biology than previously considered, and protein domain predictions and differential gene expression patterns provide evidence that chit in synthases have multiple functions within a diatom cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptional responses of three model diatoms to nitrate limitation of growth
Sara J. Bender,Sara J. Bender,Colleen A. Durkin,Colleen A. Durkin,Chris T. Berthiaume,Rhonda Morales,E. Virginia Armbrust +6 more
TL;DR: Overall transcriptional patterns suggested that all three diatoms displayed a common physiological response to nitrate limitation that consisted of a general reduction in carbon fixation and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism and an increase in nitrogen recycling.
