This study examines how chloroplast lipidomes from two macroalgae are modified after being sequestered by photosynthetic sea slugs, showing preservation of algal identity with host-induced changes in lipid composition.

The paper profiles terpenoid biosynthetic capacity in diatoms by targeting synthases to different compartments, revealing precursor availability and efficiency across compartments.

This study transfers specialized terpenoid biosynthesis genes from Botryococcus braunii into the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum to enhance isoprenoid production.

This study compares three Phaeodactylum tricornutum strains under different light regimes to identify the most suitable strain for producing high-value terpenoids through metabolic engineering.

This study compares photoprotective mechanisms in two Elysia species with Acetabularia chloroplasts, revealing differences in their tolerance to high light stress.
