Article Synopsis
- Polar microalgae, like the Arctic diatom Chaetoceros neogracilis, face significant challenges due to cold temperatures and fluctuating light conditions, which impact their growth and enzyme efficiency.
- This study found that C. neogracilis can adapt to different light levels and temperatures, displaying high levels of Rubisco, low re-oxidation of fixed carbon, and alternative electron transport pathways to sustain energy without relying heavily on organic carbon.
- These adaptations contribute to efficient growth in extreme environments, indicating that polar microalgae have unique mechanisms that differ from temperate species in how they manage photosynthesis and carbon fixation.
