This study develops a Phos-tag-based method to assess TOR kinase activity in diatoms and other algae using commercially available materials, showing dose-dependent and nitrogen-deficient responses.

This study identifies a protein shell surrounding diatom pyrenoids that enhances CO2 fixation efficiency and reveals its structural and functional role through in vivo and in vitro analyses.

The study identifies CAH1, a periplasmic carbonic anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as essential for maintaining high inorganic carbon affinity under CO2-limiting conditions.
