La vie en symbiose transforme profondément le métabolisme des microalgues
Loin de se limiter à un échange de nutriments, la symbiose entre le protozoaire Paramecium bursaria et des microalgues photosynthétiques s'accompagne

Endosymbiosis remodels transporter expression in Phaeocystis algae. Beautiful work from the @johandecelle.bsky.social lab. It would be amazing to know whether the patterns in diurnal transporter expression also change the directionality of transport. 🧫🦠 academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

This really is an excellent paper. It shows that plastid protein import machinery can be inherited through serial transfer, and that we should not expect additional membranes in tertiary plastids. In other words, serial transfers got easier to explain www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
