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 paper investigates how thiol-dependent redox networks regulate oxygen reduction at photosystem I in Arabidopsis under different photoperiods.

The study identifies two distinct Lhcx isoforms in Thalassiosira pseudonana that mediate different photoprotective mechanisms for excess light energy dissipation.

This study identifies PtBST1 in diatoms as a bestrophin that facilitates HCO3- transport at the stroma thylakoid membrane, enhancing CO2 concentrating mechanism and modulating photoprotection.
