Sweet and fatty symbionts: photosynthetic productivity and carbon storage boosted in microalgae within a host

This study shows that symbiotic microalgae enhance photosynthetic production and carbon storage within a host, driven by host energetic demands.

A new genome-scale metabolic model of oleaginous microalgae with refined lipid metabolism elucidates Microchloropsis gaditana mutant phenotypes.

This paper presents a genome-scale metabolic model for Microchloropsis gaditana that captures lipid metabolism and mutant phenotypes, enhancing understanding of its metabolic capabilities.

Tailoring confocal microscopy for in-cell photophysiology studies

The paper develops a confocal microscopy approach to study single-cell photophysiology in plants and phytoplankton, revealing insights into photosynthetic specialization and light response mechanisms.

In-cell quantitative structural imaging of phytoplankton using 3D electron microscopy

This paper develops a 3D electron microscopy workflow to generate nanometric phytoplankton models and identifies conserved subcellular features related to energy management.

Identification of the Calmodulin-dependent NAD+ kinase sustaining the elicitor-induced oxidative burst in plants

The paper identifies a CaM-dependent NAD+ kinase in plants that amplifies the oxidative burst in response to pathogen elicitors.
