Microalgae are microscopic plants which are found in water, snow as well as land. They are
one of the major resources of biofuel. However, the phenomenon of biolipid accumulation …

The marine pennate diatom Haslea ostrearia has long been known for its characteristic blue
pigment marennine, which is responsible for the greening of invertebrate gills, a natural …

Abstract Background The marine diatoms Thalassiosira pseudonana and Phaeodactylum
tricornutum are valuable model organisms for exploring the evolution, diversity and ecology …

Prymnesium parvum is a toxin-producing haptophyte that causes harmful algal blooms
worldwide, which are often associated with massive fish-kills and subsequent economic …

Diatom species of the genus Skeletonema are dominant in global coastal waters with
important roles in marine primary production and global biogeochemical cycling. Many …

A principal goal in ecology is to identify the determinants of species abundances in nature.
Body size has emerged as a fundamental and repeatable predictor of abundance, with …

Despite the obstacles facing marine colonists, most lineages of aquatic organisms have
colonized and diversified in freshwaters repeatedly. These transitions can trigger rapid …

The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments is a major ecological
divide, and the mechanisms by which most organisms adapt to new salinity environments …

The diatom Paralia guyana is a tychoplanktonic microalgal species that represents one of
the early diverging diatoms. P. guyana can thrive in both planktonic and benthic habitats …

Microalgae are valuable resources for producing high-value compounds, but large-scale
cultivation in open raceway ponds (ORPs) faces challenges due to salinity and temperature …
