TLDR
The Chlamydomonas model is ideal for future investigation of nutritional manganese deficiency and selenoenzyme function and is also suited for studies of trace nutrient interactions, nutrition-dependent metabolic changes, the relationship between photo-oxidative stress and metal homeostasis.

Second generation biofuels: high-efficiency microalgae for biodiesel production

TL;DR: A review of second generation biodiesel production systems using microalgae can be found in this paper, where the main advantages of second-generation microalgal systems are that they: (1) have a higher photon conversion efficiency (as evidenced by increased biomass yields per hectare): (2) can be harvested batch-wise nearly all-year-round, providing a reliable and continuous supply of oil: (3) can utilize salt and waste water streams, thereby greatly reducing freshwater use: (4) can couple CO2-neutral fuel production with CO2 sequestration: (

Physiological functions of mineral micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ni, Mo, B, Cl).

TL;DR: This review focuses on the major functions of mineral micronutrients, mostly in cases where they were shown as constituents of proteins, making a selection and highlighting some functions in more detail.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemistry and Evolution of Anaerobic Energy Metabolism in Eukaryotes

TL;DR: The gene distribution across lineages reflects the presence of anaerobic energy metabolism in the eukaryote common ancestor and differential loss during the specialization of some lineages to oxic niches, just as oxphos capabilities have been differentially lost in specialization to anoxic niches and the parasitic life-style.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Dynamics of Photosynthesis

TL;DR: This work attempts to integrate well-established knowledge on the functional flexibility of light-harvesting and electron transfer processes, which has greatly benefited from genetic approaches, with data derived from the wealth of recent transcriptomic and proteomic studies of acclimation responses in photosynthetic eukaroytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

SQUAMOSA Promoter Binding Protein–Like7 Is a Central Regulator for Copper Homeostasis in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: It is found that SPL7 (for SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein–like7) is essential for this response of miR398, and the growth of spl7 plants was severely impaired under low-copper conditions.

Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants

TL;DR: This edition of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants holds a unique place in the plant sciences literature as it provides the only comprehensive, authoritative, integrated single volume book in this essential field of study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathways of Oxidative Damage

TL;DR: This review attempts to present the still-incomplete understanding of how reactive oxygen species are formed inside cells and the mechanisms by which they damage specific target molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron deficiency limits phytoplankton growth in the north-east Pacific subarctic

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that the addition of nmol amounts of dissolved iron resulted in the nearly complete utilization of excess NO3, whereas in the controls, without added Fe, only 25% of the available NO3 was used.

The new higher level classification of eukaryotes with emphasis on the taxonomy of protists

TL;DR: This revision of the classification of unicellular eukaryotes updates that of Levine et al. (1980) for the protozoa and expands it to include other protists, and proposes a scheme that is based on nameless ranked systematics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytochrome f and plastocyanin: their sequence in the photosynthetic electron transport chain of Chlamydomonas reinhardi.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for its participation and site of action with respect to cytochrome f in the photosynthetic electron transport chain of C. reinhardi, a mutant strain that lacks the copper protein, plastocyanin.
