This study identifies signal peptides in Nannochloropsis oceanica that direct protein secretion through a periplastidial compartment and vesicle-mediated transport, revealing an evolutionarily adapted pathway.

This study investigates the role of the xanthophyll cycle in Nannochloropsis oceanica, showing it balances photoprotection and light-use efficiency by modulating enzyme levels and photoprotective mechanisms.

This study measures photosynthetic activity in dense microalgae cultures using oxygen production and finds that cell density significantly impacts photosynthesis, with genetic modification improving functionality.
