Ferritin is considered the major iron storage protein which maintains a large iron core in its
cavity and has ferroxidase activity. There are many types of ferritin particularly in prokaryotes …

Variability in the environment defines the structure and dynamics of all living systems, from
organisms to ecosystems. Species have evolved traits and strategies that allow them to …

The discovery of eukaryotic giant viruses has transformed our understanding of the limits of
viral complexity, but the extent of their encoded metabolic diversity remains unclear. Here …

Ferritin is a vital protein complex responsible for storing iron in almost all living organisms. It
plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, inflammation processes, stress response …

Oceanic phytoplankton species have highly efficient mechanisms of iron acquisition, as they
can take up iron from environments in which it is present at subnanomolar concentrations. In …

Environmental fluctuations affect distribution, growth and abundance of diatoms in nature,
with iron (Fe) availability playing a central role. Studies on the response of diatoms to low Fe …

Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited
in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of …

Algae are (mostly) photosynthetic eukaryotes that occupy multiple branches of the tree of
life, and are vital for planet function and health. In this review, we highlight a transformative …

Microeukaryotes are key contributors to marine carbon cycling. Their physiology, ecology,
and interactions with the chemical environment are poorly understood in offshore …

With the advent of modern biotechnology, microorganisms from diverse lineages have been
used to produce bio-based feedstocks and bioactive compounds. Many of these compounds …
