Diatoms, a type of microalgae distributed worldwide, have been identified as potential sources of biomass, lipids, and high-value compounds. While mar......
Grateloupia turuturu is a red alga with a flat but firm slippery thallus. Throughout its lifetime, this alga experiences a wide range of environmental......
Mixotrophic dinoflagellates act as primary producers, prey, and predators in marine planktonic food webs, whereas exclusively autotrophic dinoflagella......
The oomycete pathogens Pythium porphyrae, causing red rot disease, and Olpidiopsis spp. causing Olpidiopsis-blight, cause serious economic losses to P......
Accurately identifying species is the basis of all biological studies. There has been much confusion in the identification of Grateloupiacean species,......
The crustose brown algal family Ralfsiaceae comprises four genera: Analipus, Endoplura, Heteroralfsia, and Ralfsia. This study provides a detailed des......
Cryptic diversity refers to two or more distinct species classified as a single species due to lack of morphological difference. Although Plocamium La......
Light quality is a common environmental factor which influences the metabolism of biochemical substances in algae and leads to the response of algal g......
Progress in phylogenomic analysis has led to a considerable re-evaluation of former cyanobacterial system, with many new taxa being established at dif......
Cryptic stages of diverse macroalgae present in natural substrata, the bank of microscopic forms, were isolated into clonal cultures and identified ba......
Obesity-induced inflammation is crucial in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In this study, we investigated the effects of t......
Most taxonomic groups of organisms harbor temporarily or permanently multinucleate cells in all or parts of their bodies. Each nucleus in the same cyt......
Exploring mixotrophy of dinoflagellate species is critical to understanding red-tide dynamics and dinoflagellate evolu-tion. Some species in the dinof......
The mortality rate of red-tide dinoflagellates owing to predation is a major parameter that affects their population dynamics. The dinoflagellates Ans......
An enormous body of research is focused on finding ways to commercialize carotenoids produced by the unicellular green alga, Haematococcus, often with......
