Hunting for extremophiles: a systematic screening of freshwater microalgae for tolerance to high pH and high alkalinity cultivation

Patrick K. Thomas, Robin Gerlach, Anita Narwani

The paper screens 49 freshwater microalgae strains for growth under high pH and alkalinity conditions, identifying new alkaline-tolerant strains and showing that some non-extremophilic algae can thrive in extreme environments.

Botryococcus braunii reduces algal grazing losses to Daphnia and Poterioochromonas through both chemical and physical interference

Patrick Thomas, Finn Arn, Micha Freiermuth, Anita Narwani

This study shows that Botryococcus braunii reduces grazing losses to Daphnia and Poterioochromonas through chemical and physical defenses, increasing algal biomass in cocultures.
