Diatoms and bacteria have cooccurred in common habitats for hundreds of millions of years,
thus fostering specific associations and interactions with global biogeochemical …

Current sampling of genomic sequence data from eukaryotes is relatively poor, biased, and
inadequate to address important questions about their biology, evolution, and ecology; this …

There are currently intensive global research efforts aimed at increasing and modifying the
accumulation of lipids, alcohols, hydrocarbons, polysaccharides, and other energy storage …

Bacteria influence eukaryotic biology as parasitic, commensal or beneficial symbionts. Aside
from these organismal interactions, bacteria have also been important sources of new …

Marine diatoms rose to prominence about 100 million years ago and today generate most of
the organic matter that serves as food for life in the sea. They exist in a dilute world where …

Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Many species of fungi and oomycetes are plant pathogens of great economic importance.
Over the past 7 years, the genomes of more than 30 of these filamentous plant pathogens …

There has been an urgent need to tackle global climate change and replace conventional
