Abstract:
Brown algae (Chromista, Ochrophyta, Phaeophyceae) are a large group of multicellular algae that play important roles in the ocean's ecosystem and biodiversity. However, poor molecular bases for studying their phylogenetic evolutions and novel metabol...

Abstract:
Ishige okamurae, with leathery branched narrow fronds consisting of cylindrical hairs, is the typical species of the genus Ishige, which is considered as one of the most basal genera in the phylogeny of the Phaeophyceae. Apart from great public inter...

Abstract:
Saccharina is one of the most important cold-water living marine brown algal genera. In this study we analyzed the transcriptome of S. japonica, which belongs to the 1 000 Plants (OneKP) Project, by using a nextgeneration high-throughput DNA sequenci...

Abstract:
Betaphycus gelatinus, Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum of Family Solieriaceae, Order Gigartinales, Class Rhodophyceae are three important carrageenan-producing red algal species, which produce different types of carrageenans, beta (β)-...

Abstract:
Tryptophan synthase (TS, EC 4.2.1.20) catalyzes the last two steps of L-tryptophan biosynthesis. In prokaryotes, tryptophan synthase is a multi-enzyme complex, and it consists of α and β subunit which forms an α-ββ-α complex. In fungi and diatoms, TS...

Abstract:
The coding product of alginate-c5-mannuronan-epimerase gene (algG gene) can catalyze the conversion of mannuronate to guluronate and determine the M/G ratio of alginate. Most of the current knowledge about genes involved in the alginate biosynthesis ...

Abstract:
Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are host-genomic fragments originated from viral genomes. They have been found universally in animal and plant genomes. Here we carried out a systematic screening and analysis of EVEs in algal genomes and found that E...
