TL;DR: The 34 million-base-pair draft nuclear genome of the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and its 129 thousand-base pair plastid and 44 thousand base-pair mitochondrial genomes were reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial developments in microalgal biotechnology
Kirk E. Apt,Behrens Paul Warren +1 more
TL;DR: A number of important advances have occurred in microalgal biotechnology in recent years that are slowly moving the field into new areas, including stable‐isotope biochemicals produced by algae in closed‐system photobioreactors and extremely bright fluorescent pigments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (Bacillariophyceae) with a variety of selectable marker and reporter genes
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a variety of selectable markers and reporter genes can be expressed in P. tricornutum, enhancing the potential of this organism for exploring basic biological questions and industrial applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trophic conversion of an obligate photoautotrophic organism through metabolic engineering.
Lioudmila A. Zaslavskaia,James Casey Lippmeier,C. Shih,David W. Ehrhardt,Arthur R. Grossman,Kirk E. Apt +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum can be genetically engineered to thrive on exogenous glucose in the absence of light through the introduction of a gene encoding a glucose transporter (glut1 or hup1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-Harvesting Complexes in Oxygenic Photosynthesis: Diversity, Control, and Evolution
TL;DR: The diversity of pigment-protein complexes that fuel the conversion of radiant energy to chemical bond energy in land plants and the diverse groups of the algae are highlighted and the ways in which environmental parameters modulate the synthesis of these complexes are detailed.
