Diatoms are central to the global carbon cycle. At the heart of diatom carbon fixation is an
overlooked organelle called the pyrenoid, where concentrated CO 2 is delivered to densely …

Drought stress is a major constraint on crop development, potentially causing huge yield
losses and threatening global food security. Improving Crop's stress tolerance is usually …

Vacuolar type ATPases (V-type ATPases) are highly conserved hetero-multisubunit proton
pumping machineries found in all eukaryotes. They utilize ATP hydrolysis to pump protons …

Soil antibiotic pollution profoundly influences plant growth and photosynthetic performance,
yet the main disturbed processes and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study …

Polyphosphates (polyP) are ubiquitous biomolecules that play a multitude of physiological
roles in many cells. We have studied the presence and role of polyP in a unicellular alga, the …

Animals often acquire their microbial symbionts from the environment, but the mechanisms
underlying how specificity of the association is achieved are poorly understood. We …

Symbiosis between a host and intracellular eukaryotic microalgae is a widespread life
strategy in aquatic ecosystems. This partnership is considered to be mainly energized by the …

Diatoms constitute one of the most diverse and ecologically important phytoplankton groups,
yet their large-scale diversity patterns and drivers of abundance are unclear due to limited …

Deep-sea mining (DSM) activities are expected to release potentially toxic metal mixtures
through the generation of sediment plumes to the marine environment. This may disrupt the …

V-type ATPases are highly conserved hetero-multi-subunit proton pumping machineries
found in all eukaryotic organisms. They use ATP hydrolysis to pump protons, acidifying …
