Decoupling of plastid and endomembrane homeoviscous response to low temperature and darkness in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

This study examines lipidomic changes in Phaeodactylum tricornutum under low temperature and darkness, revealing distinct adaptations in plastid and endomembrane lipids.

Functional study of Phaeodactylum tricornutum Seipin homolog highlights unique features of lipid droplets biogenesis in diatoms.

This study functionally characterizes PtSeipin in Phaeodactylum tricornutum, revealing unique lipid droplet biogenesis mechanisms in diatoms and highlighting its role in TAG accumulation under stress.

Delta-5 elongase knockout reduces DHA and TAG synthesis coupled with an increase of heat sensitivity in a marine diatom

This study shows that knocking out delta-5 elongase in a marine diatom reduces DHA and TAG synthesis and increases heat sensitivity.
