Photosynthetic light requirement near the theoretical minimum detected in Arctic #microalgae: Clara Hoppe et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-024

"Under the sea ice during the #Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, #algae power #photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever observed in nature."

Simple illustration of algae of various geometric shapes under ice at night. One of them is shining bright green and white.

The #Roscoff Culture Collection 🇨🇵 of #marine #microorganisms 🌊 🦠 is seeking a #postdoc to work on ex situ microbiome interactions (EU projects #MICROBE and #BlueRemediomics 🇪🇺).

One objective is to define synthetic #microbiomes to promote the growth of selected #microeukaryotes (#microalgae, saprotrophs) and for optimal production of #metabolites of interest.

The selected candidate will work under the supervision of Charles Bachy (R&D Director of the RCC), Priscillia Gourvil (Technical Director of the RCC) and lan Probert (Director of the CRBM). Applications: Send a motivation letter and a detailed CV with the names of 2 references before the 1/1/2025 to rcc@sb-roscoff.fr. Interview: planned in Roscoff (or by videoconference) before the 15th January 2025.

Photosynthetic light requirement near the theoretical minimum detected in #Arctic #microalgae: Clara Hoppe et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-024

"The measurements were carried out as part of the #MOSAiCexpedition at 88° northern latitude... #algae can build up biomass through #photosynthesis as early as the end of March... the sun is barely above the horizon, so that it is still almost completely dark in their habitat under the snow and ice"

Very interesting story about the #nitroplast, a potential new organelle resulting from #symbiosis between nitrogen-fixing bacteria and the #microalgae *Braarudosphaera bigelowii* based on subcellular imaging and proteomic data.
Possibly a new model to study the evolutionary transition from #endosymbiont to organelle.
