DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.09.056
Abstract: Channelrhodopsins (ChRs) are light-gated ion channels widely used as optogenetic tools for manipulating neuronal activity. The currently characterized ChR families include green algal and cryptophyte cation-conducting ChRs (CCRs) and cryptophyte, haptophyte, and stramenopile anion-conducting ChRs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaa012
Abstract: Abstract A major finding in organelle biology over the past decade is that land plant mitochondrial genomes, which are the largest among eukaryotes, can have a “Jekyll and Hyde” mutational pattern: low for synonymous sites,… read more here.

DOI: 10.2216/17-111.1
Abstract: Abstract: Identification of species in the green algal genus Spirogyra is complicated by cryptic morphological diversity, seasonality of critical features of sexual reproduction necessary for morphological identification, the presence of polyploid species groups and a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules27206856
Abstract: The ability of aquatic microalgae to treat the liquid digestate obtained from the anaerobic digestion of plant waste was investigated. Microalgae were isolated from natural environment for a laboratory-scale cultivation and were then used to… read more here.

DOI: 10.5586/asbp.3605
Abstract: The diversity of cyanobacteria and algae from various microhabitats in Spitsbergen is comparatively well known. However, the relationships between environmental factors and the structure of microflora communities remain largely unclear. This study was conducted in… read more here.

Patterns in evolutionary origins of heme, chlorophyll a and isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic pathways suggest non-photosynthetic periods prior to plastid replacements in dinoflagellates

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.5345
Abstract: Background The ancestral dinoflagellate most likely established a peridinin-containing plastid, which have been inherited in the extant photosynthetic descendants. However, kareniacean dinoflagellates and Lepidodinium species were known to bear “non-canonical” plastids lacking peridinin, which were… read more here.
