The paper characterizes starch metabolism pathways in dinoflagellates, chromerids, and apicomplexans, revealing evolutionary adaptations linked to plastid endosymbiosis.

The paper investigates redox distribution of Asgard archaea and co-occurring taxa in microbial mats from an early Proterozoic ecosystem analog, revealing their ecological niches and potential roles in early eukaryogenesis.

The paper describes a tripartite interaction between a patescibacterial epibiont, its gammaproteobacterial host, and their phages, revealing host specificity and genetic adaptations.

The paper conducts a genomic and phylogenetic analysis of the SELMA complex in CASH lineages to infer the evolutionary history of secondary red plastids.

This study shows that starch granule initiation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii does not require a starch synthase 4 isoform, suggesting a different pathway than in Arabidopsis thaliana.
