Marine neurotoxins are natural products produced by phytoplankton and select species of
invertebrates and fish. These compounds interact with voltage-gated sodium, potassium and …

In both freshwater and marine ecosystems, phytoplankton are the most dominant primary
producers, contributing substantially to aquatic food webs. Algicidal bacteria that can …

Despite half a century of research, the biology of dinoflagellates remains enigmatic: they
defy many functional and genetic traits attributed to typical eukaryotic cells. Genomic …

Background Dinoflagellates are known for their capacity to form harmful blooms (eg," red
tides") and as symbiotic, photosynthetic partners for corals. These unicellular eukaryotes …

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 …

Ascorbate is a widespread and efficient antioxidant that has multiple functions in plants,
traditionally associated with the reactions of photosynthesis. This review aims to look at …

Protists, which are single-celled eukaryotes, critically influence the ecology and chemistry of
marine ecosystems, but genome-based studies of these organisms have lagged behind …

The phylum of dinoflagellates is characterized by many unusual and interesting genomic
and physiological features, the imprint of which, in its immense genome, remains elusive …

Dinoflagellates are unicellular algae that are ubiquitously abundant in aquatic
environments. Species of the genus Symbiodinium form symbiotic relationships with reef …

Diverse communities of marine phytoplankton carry out half of global primary production.
The vast diversity of the phytoplankton has long perplexed ecologists because these …
