In their natural environment plants and algae are exposed to rapidly changing light
conditions and light intensities. Illumination with high light intensities has the potential to …

There is increasing interest in naturally produced colorants, and microalgae represent a bio‐
technologically interesting source due to their wide range of colored pigments, including …

Here we report that the CRISPR/Cas9 technology can be used to efficiently generate stable
targeted gene mutations in microalgae, using the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum …

Algal growth is strongly affected by nitrogen (N) availability. Diatoms, an ecologically
important group of unicellular algae, have evolved several acclimation mechanisms to cope …

Unicellular marine algae have promise for providing sustainable and scalable biofuel
feedstocks, although no single species has emerged as a preferred organism. Moreover …

Photosynthetic organisms are continuously subjected to changes in light quantity and
quality, and must adjust their photosynthetic machinery so that it maintains optimal …

Photosystem II (PSII) of photosynthesis catalyzes one of the most challenging reactions in
nature, the light driven oxidation of water and release of molecular oxygen. PSII couples the …

The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and
largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary …

Light and its interaction with microalgae are essential concerns in the context of microalgae
studies. The optical properties of microalgae have a great impact on the remote sensing …

The importance of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) for human health
has received more focus the last decades, and the global consumption of n-3 LC-PUFA has …
