Fall 2023
Global melting of mountain glaciers is altering downstream ecosystems. As glaciers disappear, downstream water temperatures are rising while turbidity and nutrient concentrations decline. Here, knowledge gaps exist concerning how these abiotic changes will affect primary producers in glacial...

Samadi, Zahra, Mehdizadeh-Allaf, Malihe, Saifi, Reza, De Groot, Christopher T., Peerhossaini, Hassan
Mixing displays a major role in the growth of photosynthesis microorganisms in active suspensions: it gives access to nutrients, improves the microorganisms’ exposure to light, and homogenizes temperature distribution in photobioreactors (PBRs). Therefore, mixing is an essential factor in the...

Characterization of a Type‐2 Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase from Haematococcus pluvialis Reveals Possible Allostery of the Recombinant Enzyme
Download2019-12-26
Nguyen, Trinh, Xu, Yang, Abdel-Hameed, Mona, Sorensen, John L., Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Haematococcus pluvialis is a green microalga used in the algal biotechnology industry that can accumulate considerable amounts of storage triacylglycerol (TAG) and astaxanthin, which is a high‐value carotenoid with strong antioxidant activity, under stress conditions. Diacylglycerol...

Assessment of Environmental and Economic Footprints of Algae Production Systems for Colder Climate
DownloadFall 2019
Many open pond raceway (OPR) production systems for algae cultivation continue to be developed for moderate and hot climates (e.g., the USA, Europe and Australia). However, there has been very limited research on economic and environmental evaluations to assess whether these systems can be...

Properties and Biotechnological Applications of Acyl‐CoA:diacylglycerol Acyltransferase and Phospholipid:diacylglycerol Acyltransferase from Terrestrial Plants and Microalgae
Download2018-07-30
Xu, Yang, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Pal‐Nath, Dipasmita, Ozga, Jocelyn, Lemieux, M. Joanne, Weselake, Randall J., Chen, Guanqun
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the major storage lipid in most terrestrial plants and microalgae, and has great nutritional and industrial value. Since the demand for vegetable oil is consistently increasing, numerous studies have been focused on improving the TAG content and modifying the fatty‐acid...

Indole-3-Acetic Acid is produced by Emiliania Huxleyi Coccolith-bearing cells and triggers a physiological response in bald cells
Download2016
Bramucci, Anna R., Labeeuw, Leen, Khey, Joleen, Case, Rebecca J., de la Mata, A. Paulina, Harynuk, James, Atwal, Harjot
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an auxin produced by terrestrial plants which influences development through a variety of cellular mechanisms, such as altering cell orientation, organ development, fertility, and cell elongation. IAA is also produced by bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants...

Fall 2016
Microalgae are a diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms that have complex relationships with their surrounding bacteria, which are often controlled by the exchange of bioactive molecules. Emiliania huxleyi is a ubiquitous marine microalga, forming massive blooms, driving the marine carbon...

IN HOT WATER: A BACTERIAL PATHOGEN DISPLAYING TEMPERATURE-ENHANCED VIRULENCE OF THE MICROALGA EMILIANIA HUXLEYI
DownloadFall 2016
Emiliania huxleyi is a globally abundant microalga that plays a significant role in biogeochemical cycles. Over the next century, sea surface temperatures are predicted to increase drastically, which will likely have significant effects on the survival and ecology of E. huxleyi. In a warming...
