The pyrenoid is a phase-separated organelle that enhances photosynthetic carbon
assimilation in most eukaryotic algae and the land plant hornwort lineage. Pyrenoids …

Although the impact of the gut microbiome on health and disease is well established, there
is controversy regarding the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria and their …

Analysis of cellular ultrastructure dynamics and metal ions' fate can provide insights into the
interaction between living organisms and metal ions. Here, we directly visualize the …

Background The development of nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS)
has revolutionized the study of biological tissues by enabling, eg, the visualization and …

Over the last few decades, symbiosis and the concept of holobiont—a host entity with a
population of symbionts—have gained a central role in our understanding of life functioning …

Marine photosynthetic (micro) organisms drive multiple biogeochemical cycles and display a
large diversity. Among them, the bloom-forming, free-living dinoflagellate Prorocentrum …

The marine, bloom-forming dinoflagellate Prorocentrum cordatum CCMP 1329 (formerly P.
minimum) has a genome atypical of eukaryotes, with a large size of~ 4.15 Gbp, organized in …

Ocean acidification resulting from increased CO 2 and pollution from land-sourced toxicants
such as copper have been linked to coral cover declines in coastal reef ecosystems. The …

Parasites are widespread and diverse in oceanic plankton and many of them infect single-
celled algae for survival. How these parasites develop and scavenge energy within the host …

Photosynthetic microalgae are responsible for an important fraction of CO2 fixation and O2
production on Earth. Three-dimensional (3D) ultrastructural characterization of these …
