Sweet and fatty symbionts: photosynthetic productivity and carbon storage boosted in microalgae within a host

This study shows that symbiotic microalgae enhance photosynthetic production and carbon storage within a host, driven by host energetic demands.

Targeted volume Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy of an environmental marine microorganism

The paper demonstrates a method to target and analyze the 3D ultrastructure of a photosynthetic marine microorganism using correlative light and electron microscopy.

Tailoring confocal microscopy for in-cell photophysiology studies

The paper develops a confocal microscopy approach to study single-cell photophysiology in plants and phytoplankton, revealing insights into photosynthetic specialization and light response mechanisms.

Intracellular development and impact of a eukaryotic parasite on its zombified microalgal host in the marine plankton

The paper investigates how the parasite Amoebophrya alters its microalgal host's cellular structure and metabolism during infection, revealing evolutionary conserved mechanisms and a potential zombifying strategy.

Subcellular architecture and metabolic connection in the planktonic photosymbiosis between Collodaria (radiolarians) and their microalgae

This study uses multimodal imaging to analyze subcellular changes and nutrient dynamics in the photosymbiosis between Collodaria and their microalgae, revealing metabolic adaptations and nutrient allocation patterns.

Cytoklepty in the plankton: a host strategy to optimize the bioenergetic machinery of endosymbiotic algae

The paper shows that host cells manipulate algal endosymbionts to enhance their bioenergetic machinery, leading to increased carbon uptake and photosynthetic efficiency.

In-cell quantitative structural imaging of phytoplankton using 3D electron microscopy

This paper develops a 3D electron microscopy workflow to generate nanometric phytoplankton models and identifies conserved subcellular features related to energy management.

Nucleo-plastidic PAP8/pTAC6 couples chloroplast formation with photomorphogenesis

This study identifies PAP8 as a key regulator linking chloroplast formation with photomorphogenesis by coordinating nuclear and plastid gene expression.

Oxamniquine resistance alleles are widespread in Old World Schistosoma mansoni and predate drug deployment

The paper identifies widespread oxamniquine resistance alleles in Old World Schistosoma mansoni populations, showing they predate drug use and exist as standing genetic variation.
