Marine diatoms have high adaptability and are known to accumulate lipids under nutrient stress conditions. The present study involves determining the effect of varying macro and micronutrients on growth kinetics and metabolite production of oleaginous marine diatoms, Thalassiosira weissflogii and Chaetoceros gracilis. The results highlighted that C. gracilis and T. weissflogii showed maximum biomass yield of 0.86 ± 0.06 g/L and 0.76 ± 0.01 g/L in the 2f and f supplemented medium respectively. A 2.5-fold increase in cellular lipid content was recorded in the 2f culture setup of both strains ranging from 20 % to 26.7 % (w/w). The study also reveals that high eutrophic nutrient media (f, 2f and 4f) triggered biomass productivity as well as total protein and carbohydrate content in both strains. Thus, providing a reproducible insight of trophic flexibility of diatoms, concomitant with the increment in multiple commercially valuable products.

Understanding metabolic activities involved in bloom formation during a single-species algal bloom has improved greatly. However, little is known about metabolic activities during a multi-species algal bloom. Here, we investigated protein expression profiles at different bloom stages of a mixed dinoflagellate bloom caused by Karenia mikimotoi and Prorocentrum obtusidens (syn.

Extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and typhoons, are becoming more frequent due to climate change and can significantly impact coastal microbial communities. This study examines the short-term alterations in microbial food webs-viruses, bacteria, picophytoplankton, nanoflagellates, ciliates, and diatom-following Typhoon Krathon in Taiwan's coastal waters in October 2024. Daily in situ sampling revealed a significant post-typhoon increased in viral, nanoflagellate, and Synechococcus spp.

Settling aggregates transport organic matter from the ocean surface to the deep sea and seafloor. Though plankton communities impact carbon export, how specific organisms and their interactions affect export efficiency is unknown. Looking at 15 years of eDNA sequences (18S-V4) from settling and sedimented organic matter in the Fram Strait, here we observe that most phylogenetic groups were transferred from pelagic to benthic ecosystems.

Chaetoceros, Pseudo-nitzschia, and Thalassiosira are ecologically important genera which formed blooms frequently in Hong Kong coastal waters in past decades. However, species identification based on microscopic observation for diatoms in these genera is difficult. In this study, we investigated species diversity of Chaetoceros, Pseudo-nitzschia, and Thalassiosira in Hong Kong coastal waters using metabarcoding approach.

Background: Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a versatile marine microalga renowned for its high-value metabolite production, including omega-3 fatty acids and fucoxanthin, with emerging potential for integrated biorefinery approaches that encompass biofuel and bioproduct generation. Therefore, in this study we aimed to optimize the cultivation conditions for boosting biomass, lipid, and fucoxanthin production in P. tricornutum, focusing on the impacts of different nutrient ratios (nitrogen, phosphorus, silicate), glycerol supplementation, and light regimes.
