Odontella rapoporti sp. nov., from Tierra del Fuego is described, as the third species of the Odontella lobata group, which has a subantarctic distribution. The new species is similar to O. lobata and O. setosa, but can be distinguished from them by the number of chaetae on the dens (6 or 7 chaetae in O. setosa vs. 5 chaetae in the other species) and the number of chaetae in the distal whorl of the tibiotarsus (9 chaetae in O. lobata vs. 11 in the other species). The closely related monotypic genus Afrodontella Deharveng, 1981, and its type species (A. septemlobata) are described.

The Arctic Ocean is one of the regions where anthropogenic environmental change is progressing most rapidly and drastically. The impact of rising temperatures and decreasing sea ice on Arctic marine microbial communities is yet not well understood. Microbes form the basis of food webs in the Arctic Ocean, providing energy for larger organisms.

A shift in species dominance in the mangrove microalgae community in Cross River Estuary System (CRES), Nigeria, was carried out during the wet season to highlight the microalgae structure, identify potential indicators, and evaluate the water quality variation. Plankton samples were collected at sixteen selected sampling sites along the river. Diatoms showed the highest number of species (240 species), contributing more than 70% of the total microalgae abundance.

Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) constitute one of the most diverse and ecologically significant groups of phytoplankton, comprising 100,000-200,000 species in three classes Bacillariophyceae, Mediophyceae, and Coscinodiscophyceae. However, due to the limited resolution of common molecular markers including 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, ITS, , and , diatom biodiversity has not been adequately ascertained. Organelle genomes including mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) have been proposed to be "super barcodes" for distinguishing diatom species because of their rich genomic content, and the rapid progress of DNA sequencing technologies that has made it possible to construct mtDNAs with increasing throughout and decreasing cost.

Article Synopsis
- * An innovative auto-controlled photobioreactor with internal LEDs revealed that red light significantly boosts cell growth and fucoxanthin yield compared to blue or white lights, particularly with an optimal light ratio of 8:2.
- * This study not only sets a record for fucoxanthin productivity but also suggests practical methods for scaling up production, making it promising for commercial applications and future microalgae research.
Sinking of Four Species of Living Diatom Cells Directly Observed by a "Tumbled" Optical Microscope.

The study of the sinking phenomenon of diatom cells, which have a slightly larger specific gravity (~1.3) compared to that of water, is an important research topic for understanding photosynthetic efficiency. In this study, we successfully demonstrated the observation of the sinking behaviors of four different species of diatom using a homemade “tumbled” optical microscope.
