Journal ArticleDOI
Grazing-activated chemical defence in a unicellular marine alga
TL;DR: It is shown that this reaction deters protozoan herbivores, presumably through the production of highly concentrated acrylate, which has antimicrobial activity, which is believed to be the first report of grazing-activated chemical defence in unicellular microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algal production of dimethyl sulfide and its atmospheric role1
Gillian Malin,Gunter O. Kirst +1 more
TL;DR: This minireview focuses mainly on more recent discoveries concerning the biosynthesis and turnover of DMSP, DMS, and related compounds in the biosphere and with respect to the role of DMS in the global sulfur cycle and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osmotic adjustment in marine eukaryotic algae: the role of inorganic ions, quaternary ammonium, tertiary sulphonium and carbohydrate solutes
D. M. J. Dickson,Gunter O. Kirst +1 more
TL;DR: The unicellular marine algae, Phaeodactylum tricornutum Bohlin, Cyclotella cryptica Reimann and cyclotella meneghiniana Kützing and Porphyridium aerugineum Geitler synthesized and accumulated glycine betaine and proline in response to increases of the NaCl concentration of the growth medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial characterisation of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) lyase isozymes in 6 strains of Emiliania huxleyi
TL;DR: There are several structurally different DMSP lyase isozymes within E. huxleyi, hinting at possibly different cellular locations and functions, and varying DMS production under natural conditions.
