How do diatoms cope with nitrogen and phosphorus colimitation? — Happy to share our new paper: "Nitrogen status exerts dynamic control over phosphorus sensing and acquisition via PSR1 in colimited marine diatoms" 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scia... @exetermarine.bsky.social @thembauk.bsky.social

Out now in @pubs.acs.org our latest work on the production of the high valuable molecule geraniol from a genetically engineered green alga strain. Happy to have contributed to this amazing project, a collaboration with the Bielefeld University and KAUST. Have a look at it! 🦠🔬

Interested to know what happens C. reinhardtii cells upon overexpression of a cyanobacterial dual-function FBP/SBPase? Check out our latest work, out now in Algal Research!! 🦠🔬🇮🇹

Thank you to our brilliant delegates, mentors, speakers, the organising committee and our hosts at the University of Birmingham for making New Phytologist next generation scientists 2025 a great success!

What a great week at the @newphyt.bsky.social Next Generation Scientists meeting #NGS2025 in Birmingham!! 🌱🇬🇧 Honored to have presented a poster on our latest work on abiotic stress-induced calcium dynamics in C. reinhardtii 🦠🔬 Great science, fruitful panel discussions and a lot of new friends!!

Wandering what happens to Chlamydomonas chloroplast and cytosolic Ca2+ dynamics in response to different abiotic stresses? Our latest work about that is out now! 🦠🔬 A big thank to all the people involved @labcosta.bsky.social, Glen Wheeler and Matteo Ballottari.
