- Using Phaeocystis strain RCC1383.
- 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...
