Microalgae are important primary producers and form the basis for the marine food web. As global climate changes, so do salinity levels that algae are exposed to. A metabolic response of algal cells partly alleviates the resulting osmotic stress. Some metabolites involved in the response are well...
Diatoms perform about 20% of photosynthesis on earth, play a crucial role in forming the base of the marine food web, and sequester anthropogenic carbon into the deep ocean through the biological pump. In some areas of the ocean, diatom growth is limited by the organic micronutrient cobalamin (vi...
