Uncovering a unique light-harvesting structure in marine #algae
Photosystem II–FCPII complex found in a marine alga could shape the future of artificial #photosynthesis

high-resolution analysis of a photosynthetic complex found in , Chrysotila roscoffensis. This marine alga belongs to the #coccolithophore species known for producing calcium carbonate plates and fixing carbon at the ocean surface.

A Bloom in a Changing Barents Sea

"The #BarentsSea usually has 2 major bloom seasons, with #diatoms peaking in May, June, then giving way to #coccolithophores by August. As the #climate changes, #scientists are using #satellites to track how #phytoplankton populations are responding. They observed large shifts in the location of summer #coccolithophore blooms to the northeast & an increasing presence of #Phaeocystis normally found in warmer waters"
