Journal ArticleDOI
Diatom Molecular Research Comes of Age: Model Species for Studying Phytoplankton Biology and Diversity.

TL;DR: How functional genomics and reverse genetics have contributed to the understanding of this important class of microalgae in the context of evolution, cell biology, and metabolic adaptations is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Algal Revolution
Juliet Brodie,Cheong Xin Chan,Olivier De Clerck,J. Mark Cock,Susana M. Coelho,Claire M. M. Gachon,Arthur R. Grossman,Thomas Mock,John A. Raven,John A. Raven,Alison G. Smith,Hwan Su Yoon,Debashish Bhattacharya +12 more
TL;DR: A transformative period in studies of the evolution and functioning of algae is highlighted, as is their potential as production platforms for compounds of commercial interest, such as biofuel precursors, nutraceuticals, or therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternatives to vitamin B1 uptake revealed with discovery of riboswitches in multiple marine eukaryotic lineages.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one such alga, the major primary producer Emiliania huxleyi, grows on 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (a thiamine precursor moiety) alone, although long thought dependent on exogenous sources ofThiamine, making vitamin control of phytoplankton blooms more complex than the current paradigm suggests.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of genome size evolution for prokaryotes in stable and fluctuating environments
TL;DR: A computer simulation utilizing the individual-based model approach is developed to investigate genome size evolution of a haploid, clonal and free-living prokaryotic population across different levels of environmental perturbations and shows that the evolution of genome size is indirectly driven by the temporal variability of the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new class of ice-binding proteins discovered in a salt-stress-induced cDNA library of the psychrophilic diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus (Bacillariophyceae)
Andreas Krell,Bank Beszteri,Gerhard Dieckmann,Gernot Glöckner,Klaus-Ulrich Valentin,Thomas Mock +5 more
TL;DR: A major outcome of this analysis is the finding of four full-length ORFs showing significant similarities to ice-binding proteins (IBPs), which have been shown in a parallel study to be specific to sea ice diatoms, giving evidence of their ability to shape their habitat.
