The 'phytoplankton factory' -- from nutrients to algae growth
phytoplankton ocean ecosystems climate change
2021/8/9
Phytoplankton are the foundation of ocean ecosystems: like rainforests, they consume carbon from the atmosphere, form the basis of the marine food web and have a decisive influence on fish abundance a...
While invasive zebra mussels consume small plant-like organisms called phytoplankton, researchers discovered during a long-term study that zebra mussels can actually increase Microcystis, a type of ph...
Littlest shop of horrors:Hungry green algae prefer to eat bacteria alive(图)
Hungry green algae eat bacteria alive
2021/3/26
New U.S. National Science Foundation-funded research suggests that the ability of green algae to eat bacteria is more widespread than previously thought, a finding that could be important in envi...

Aggressive algae threaten health Caribbean corals
2020/12/11
Hurricanes, pollution, disease, bleaching and the effects of an increasingly warmer planet are affecting the health of coral reefs around the world. However, reefs in the Caribbean are facing a new th...
Ocean algae get 'coup de grace' from viruses--sometimes(图)
Ocean algae coup de grace viruses--sometimes
2020/9/25
Scientists have long believed that ocean viruses quickly kill algae. But new U.S. National Science Foundation-funded research shows that viruses often live in harmony with algae, and that they pr...
Desert algae shed light on desiccation tolerance in green plants(图)
Desert algae shed light desiccation tolerance green plants
2020/7/10
Deserts of the U.S. Southwest are hot and dry -- extreme habitats for most plants -- but, remarkably, microscopic green algae that live there are extraordinarily tolerant of dehydration.These tiny gre...

Algae team rosters help ID super corals
2020/2/20
Researchers have found a potential tool for identifying "super corals" that can tolerate a limited amount of climate change."We may be able to use algae team characteristics to identify coral colonies...

Scientists protein that lulls algae sleep
2020/2/20
Algae have the potential to become a sustainable source of high-value biofuels. But researchers face major challenges that hold them back from mass-producing algae.Triacylglycerols, or TAGs, are the r...
Study reveals changing patterns in globally important algae(图)

2019/10/21
Globally important ocean algae called coccolithophores are mysteriously scarce in one of the most productive regions of the Atlantic Ocean, according to a new paper in Deep Sea Research I. A massive d...
Scientists discover key factors in how some algae harness solar energy(图)
Scientists key factors algae harness solar energy
2019/10/21
Scientists have discovered how diatoms –- algae that produce 20% of the Earth's oxygen –- harness solar energy for photosynthesis. Algae store energy in the form of natural oils and, under the right c...
Algae-killing viruses spur nutrient recycling in oceans(图)
Algae-killing viruses nutrient recycling oceans
2019/10/23
Scientists have confirmed that viruses can kill marine algae called diatoms, but diatom die-offs near the ocean surface may provide nutrients and organic matter for recycling by other algae.Diatoms ar...
Lake Erie's toxic algae blooms:Why is the water turning green?(图)
Lake Erie toxic algae water turning green
2019/11/22
Since the late 1990s, Lake Erie has been plagued with blooms of toxic algae that turn its waters a bright blue-green. These harmful algae blooms are made up of cyanobacteria that produce the liver tox...

Green Algae Hold Clues Engineering Faster-Growing Crops
2017/10/24
Two new studies of green algae — the scourge of swimming pool owners and freshwater ponds — have revealed new insights into how these organisms siphon carbon dioxide from the air for use in photosynth...
Spotted salamanders and green algae make for an odd couple, but they share a close bond that begins when the algae start growing in the salamander’s egg. Just because it’s an intimate arrangement, tho...
