Competition between microbial species is a product of, yet can lead to a reduction in, the
microbial diversity of specific habitats. Microbial habitats can resemble ecological …

Laboratory microcosm experiments using protists as model organisms have a long tradition
and are widely used to investigate general concepts in population biology, community …

In mammalian systems RNA can move between cells via vesicles. Here we demonstrate that
the gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which infects mice, secretes …

Phosphorus (P) is a critical driver of phytoplankton growth and ecosystem function in the
ocean. Diatoms are an abundant class of marine phytoplankton that are responsible for …

Background Microalgae-derived biodiesel is a promising substitute for conventional fossil
fuels. In particular, the green alga Chlorella protothecoides sp. 0710 is regarded as one of …

About 25% of all solute carriers (SLCs) are likely to transport amino acids as their primary
substrate. One of the major phylogenetic clusters of amino acid transporters from the SLC …

Nitrogen stress is a common strategy employed to stimulate lipid accumulation in
microalgae, a biofuel feedstock of topical interest. Although widely investigated, the …

Microalgae has great potential in wastewater treatment and resource utilization, but few
studies have explored the impact mechanism of pollutants on its biochemical compositions …

This study provides the first mapping of mycoprotein functionality, composition and structure
throughout the Quorn fermentation process. The fermentation broth, RNA-reduced broth …

Oleaginous microalgae are capable of producing large quantities of fatty acids and
triacylglycerides. As such, they are promising feedstocks for the production of biofuels and …
