DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1343
Abstract: Outdoor microalgal cultivation for the production of valuable biofuels and bioproducts typically requires high insolation and strains with high thermal (>37°C) tolerance. While some strains are naturally thermotolerant, other strains of interest require improved performance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fuel.2021.120985
Abstract: Abstract The isolated diatom Nitzschia punctata was subjected to different trophic modes - autotrophy, heterotrophy, and mixotrophy and evaluated variations in growth rate, morphology, biochemical composition, and fatty acid profiles of diatoms in response to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abi5075
Abstract: Secondary loss of photosynthesis is observed across almost all plastid-bearing branches of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genome-based insights into the transition from a phototroph into a secondary heterotroph have so far only been… read more here.
