Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the sharing of genetic material between organisms that are
not in a parent–offspring relationship. HGT is a widely recognized mechanism for adaptation …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of genetic material across branches of the
tree of life, is well established in prokaryotes and uncontroversial. This is explained in part …

Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) belongs to an ancient group of red algae (Bangiophyceae), is
harvested for human food, and thrives in the harsh conditions of the upper intertidal zone …

This paper presents an in-depth review of recent research on catalytic pyrolysis of
microalgae and suitable approaches for bio-oil upgrading. The performance of three types of …

Photosynthetic organisms have developed various light-harvesting systems to adapt to their
environments. Phycobilisomes are large light-harvesting protein complexes found in …

Plant (archaeplastid) evolution has transformed the biosphere, but we are only now
beginning to learn how this took place through comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and …

Microalgae are considered a promising source for various high-value products, including
carotenoids and omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Excluding …

Abstract Changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration have played a central role in algal and
plant adaptation and evolution. The commercially important red algal genus, Pyropia …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are emerging as a promising future technology for a wide range
of applications in addition to sustainable electricity generation. Electroactive (EA) biofilms …

Oleaginous microalgae are promising feedstock for biofuels, yet the genetic diversity, origin
and evolution of oleaginous traits remain largely unknown. Here we present a detailed …
