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

The paper introduces a biosensor to monitor intracellular prenyl phosphate levels in diatoms and demonstrates its use in tracking metabolic perturbations and subcellular localization.

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.
