Here is yet another bizarre feat of dinoflagellates: a spontaneous minicircle mutation leading to loss of photosynthesis: https://t.co/AlqiKnSHYO; https://t.co/VCyhmoFX0i

Some enzymes can function cell-free in the ocean, alkaline phosphatase being one of them. Besides, non-abundant bacteria can dominate AP and hence P cycling in the ocean. https://t.co/d1WtqQwD6Q, https://t.co/5SqNVigZYX

Response and adaptation to acidified environments can occur via shifts in proteomic pI. Congrats to Dr. Xiangcheng Yuan and the team for their hard work leading to this striking finding. https://t.co/f7buWKkXtI

Diatoms are not only the source of the amnesic shellfish poisoning toxin domoic acid, but also produce the neurotoxin BMAA. Interestingly, both toxins are induced by iron limitation. This new study also characterizes the biosynthesis pathway: https://t.co/EZ5tz5L0xv

@its_The_Dr It is NOT ok to destroy public properties!!!

Congratulations to Jackson Sanders for working with me on this review paper in his first-year Ph.D. program. It provides a synthesis of molecular techniques for detecting HAB species and uncovering HAB drivers: https://t.co/SHz4OA1Ykl

Happy to find this is coming soon too: https://t.co/urHk7iOs1C

Happy that this will be out soon: https://t.co/6rZOW9irCn.

Happy to share that there is a way to convert rDNA copy number to carbon biomass--way to alleviate frustration about what to do with rDNA data: Estimating Carbon Biomass Using DNA: Phytoplankton as a Case Study https://t.co/xmdmpB3foS #mdpidna via @DNA_MDPI

DinoSL helped us tease out expressed genes in sediment-buried dinoflagellate cysts and find surprisingly broad active metabolic pathways... https://t.co/2ULZhD2I4O

@KarieHoltermann Sorry to blast your with multiple question, but this will be the last for this matter. I am wondering if you have the original with a higher resolution. The download from the JGI website is only 21kB.

@KarieHoltermann Hi Karie, I believe you are the author of a nice Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries image on its genome website. Would you permit me to use it in a book on HABs? Senjie Lin from the University of Connecticut.

[DinoGuy (Lin Lab @ UConn) @senjielin]

@KarieHoltermann In the acknowledgment section, would you prefer to be addressed as Dr., Ms., or another title?

[DinoGuy (Lin Lab @ UConn) @senjielin]

@KarieHoltermann Thank you! You will be credited if the image is used.

Looking for a postdoc who has a track record of algal or plant molecular biology research to study functional genetics using Phaeodactylum as the model. Skills in plasmid manipulation and delivery and transformant screening are required. Experience in promoter optimization a plus

Recent cryo-EM studies reveal new proteins in dinoflagellate PSI not known in any other photosynthetic organisms.
