Diatoms derive from a secondary endosymbiosis event, which occurred when eukaryotic host cell engulfed red alga. This led to the formation of complex plastid enclosed by four membranes: two innermost membranes originating alga chloroplast envelope, and additional peri- epiplastidial (PPM, EpM). The EpM is linked endoplasmic reticulum (ER). most abundant membrane lipid in diatoms monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), synthesized galactosyltransferases called MGDG synthases (MGDs), conserved...
Algae belonging to the Microchloropsis genus are promising organisms for biotech purposes, being able accumulate large amounts of lipid reserves. These adapt different trophic conditions, thriving in strict photoautotrophic as well concomitant presence light plus reduced external carbon energy sources (mixotrophy). In this work, we investigated mixotrophic responses gaditana (formerly Nannochloropsis ). Using Biolog growth test, which cells loaded into multiwell plates coated with organic...
Thraustochytrids are marine protists that naturally accumulate triacylglycerol with long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as ω3-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). They represent a sustainable response to the increasing demand for these "essential" acids (FAs). Following an attempt transform strain Aurantiochytrium limacinum, we serendipitously isolated clone did not incorporate any recombinant DNA but contained two three times more DHA than original strain. Metabolic analyses indicated...
Sampling with hollow fiber filters can revolutionize sampling routines. Larger volumes, more representative of the population, be taken and concentrated for downstream analysis to provide a better estimation populations being sampled.
