DOI: 10.1007/s10811-017-1338-5
Abstract: Lectins are unique proteins or glycoproteins of non-immune origin that bind specifically to carbohydrates. They recognise and interact reversibly to either free carbohydrates or glycoconjugates, without modifying their structure. Lectins are highly diverse and widely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12585
Abstract: Decades ago, the major tools that evolutionary phycologists employed to infer relationships among eukaryotic algae included comparative ultrastructure of cell division processes and the flagellar apparatus of motile cells. Many of the phylogenetic conclusions arising… read more here.

Abstract: The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum was cultured in five different growth regimes to obtain cells with different composition. Pairs of populations subjected to different treatments were then mixed in a communal culture regime that differed from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12845
Abstract: Documenting the causes and consequences of intraspecific variation forms the foundation of much of evolutionary ecology. In this Perspectives piece, we review the importance of individual variation in ecology and evolution, argue that contemporary phycology… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.12965
Abstract: Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that use sunlight as an energy source, and convert water, carbon dioxide, and inorganic salts into algal biomass. The isolation and selection of microalgae, which allow one to obtain large amounts… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jpy.13168
Abstract: Here, we present new transcriptome sequencing data from seven species of Dasycladales (Ulvophyceae) and a phylogenomic analysis of the Chlorophyta with a particular focus on Ulvophyceae. We have focused on a broad selection of green… read more here.
