I started a 7x5 challenge. I want to play more of the games we own and explore some of the possibilities hiding in these boxes. Hopefully I didn't bite off more than I can chew.

Arctic #algae aren't immobile or entombed. They're not just surviving either—they're gliding into the record books https://phys.org/news/2025-09-scientists-uncover-extreme-life-arctic.html

Ice gliding #diatoms establish record-low temperature limits for motility in a eukaryotic cell https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2423725122

"When they compared #Arctic diatoms with temperate relatives gliding along glass, the polar species moved much faster, hinting at an evolutionary advantage... Could they be moving resources through the Arctic food web?"

#Phytochromes: The 'eyes' that enable #microalgae to find their way in aquatic depths https://phys.org/news/2024-12-phytochromes-eyes-enable-microalgae-aquatic.html

#Diatom phytochromes integrate the underwater light spectrum to sense depth: Carole Duchêne et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08301-3

"These photoreceptors enable them to detect changes in the light spectrum in the water column, thereby providing information regarding their vertical position within it."

Protein shell discovery reveals how #diatoms capture CO₂ so effectively https://phys.org/news/2024-10-protein-shell-discovery-reveals-diatoms.html

"diatom pyrenoids are encased in a lattice-like protein shell... not only gives the pyrenoid its shape, but it helps create a high CO2 concentration in this compartment. This enables Rubisco to efficiently fix CO2"
