Diatoms are successful phytoplankton clades able to acclimate to changing environmental conditions, including e.g. variable light intensity. Diatoms are outstanding at dissipating light energy exceeding the […]

Eva joins the team for a 6 months Erasmus internship. Eva holds a master degree in biochemistry from the University of Padova. During her internship, Eva […]

Photoautotrophs’ environmental responses have been extensively studied at the organism and ecosystem level. However, less is known about their photosynthesis at the single-cell level. This information […]

Quantitative analyses and models are required to connect a plant’s cellular organisation with its metabolism. However, quantitative data are often scattered over multiple studies, and finding […]

ChloroKB (http://chlorokb.fr) is a knowledge base providing synoptic representations of the metabolism of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and its regulation. Initially focused on plastid metabolism, ChloroKB now […]

Genome modifications in microalgae have emerged as a crucial and indispensable tool for research in fundamental and applied biology. In particular, CRISPR/Cas9 has gained significant recognition […]

Pyrenoids are subcompartments of algal chloroplasts that increase the efficiency of Rubisco-driven CO2 fixation. Diatoms fix up to 20% of global CO2, but their pyrenoids remain poorly […]
