Algal blooms drive global biogeochemical cycles of key nutrients in the oceans and serve as hotspots for biological interactions. The massive spring blooms of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (E. huxleyi) are often infected by the lytic Emiliania huxleyi
Tapping into the metabolic cross-talk between a host and its virus can reveal unique strategies employed during infection. Viral infection is a dynamic process that generates an evolving metabolic landscape. Gaining a continuous view into the infection process is highly challenging and is limited...
This study investigates how the intertidal red alga Pyropia haitanensis (Bangiophyceae) achieves rapid desiccation-rehydration tolerance through coordinated interactions between the host, its associated microbiome, and key metabolites. By integrating 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, metagenomics, an...

In the actual context of climate changing environments, photosynthetic organisms need to adapt to more extreme conditions. Microalgae can be excellent organisms to understand molecular mechanisms that activate survival mechanisms under stress. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii signaling mutants are extre...
