Recent progress and future challenges in algal biofuel production Open
Modern society is fueled by fossil energy produced millions of years ago by photosynthetic organisms. Cultivating contemporary photosynthetic producers to generate energy and capture carbon from the atmosphere is one potential approach to …

Major evolutionary transitions of life, metabolic scaling and the number and size of mitochondria and chloroplasts Open
We investigate the effects of trophic lifestyle and two types of major evolutionary transitions in individuality—the endosymbiotic acquisition of organelles and development of multicellularity—on organellar and cellular metabolism and allo…

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and eutrophication in streams Open
Flowing waters receive substantial nutrient inputs, including both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), in many parts of the world. Eutrophication science for rivers and streams has unfortunately lagged behind that for lakes, and results from …

A 21-year record of vertically migrating subepilimnetic populations of Cryptomonas spp. Open
The vertical distribution and diel migration of Cryptomonas spp. were monitored continuously for 21 years in mesotrophic Cross Reservoir, northeast Kansas, USA. The movements of these motile algae were tracked on multiple dates during July…

Do persistent organic pollutants stimulate cyanobacterial blooms? Open
The use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), such as herbicides, pesticides, pharmaceutical and personal care products (PCPPs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has more than doubled since 1950. POPs find their way into aqu…

Combined effects of nitrogen to phosphorus and nitrate to ammonia ratios on cyanobacterial metabolite concentrations in eutrophic Midwestern USA reservoirs Open
Recent studies have shown that the total nitrogen to total phosphorus (TN:TP) ratio and nitrogen oxidation state may have substantial effects on secondary metabolite (e.g., microcystins) production in cyanobacteria. We investigated the rel…

Effects of eutrophication on maximum algal biomass in lake and river ecosystems Open
To further clarify empirical relationships between maximum phytoplankton biomass per unit total phosphorus (TP) and the maximum:mean phytoplankton biomass ratio, predictive models were created from a meta-analysis of datasets from lakes wo…

Phosphorus and nitrogen loading restraints are essential for successful eutrophication control of Lake Rotorua, New Zealand Open
Anthropogenic activity has greatly enhanced the inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to lakes, causing widespread eutrophication. Algal or cyanobacterial blooms are among the most severe consequences of eutrophication, impacting aquat…
