Characterization of starch metabolism pathways in dinoflagellates, chromerids and apicomplexans highlights the presence of a starch accumulating symbiont in their common ancestor

Ugo Cenci, Malika Chabi, Léa Fermont…·Steven G. Ball

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

Dual-targeted NADK2 Links Mitochondrial Redox Homeostasis to Carbon Partitioning and Heterotrophic Growth in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Neda Fakhimi, Michelle Meagher, Justin Findinier…·Arthur Robert Grossman

This study shows that CreNADK2 localizes to both chloroplasts and mitochondria in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and its absence impairs mitochondrial NADP(H) synthesis, TCA cycle function, and heterotrophic growth.

Genome evolution of a non-parasitic secondary heterotroph, the diatom Nitzschia putrida

Ryoma Kamikawa, Takako Mochizuki, Mika Sakamoto…·Yasukazu Nakamura

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.
