Happy to share my latest preprint: "Using network component analysis to study axenisation strategies for phototrophic eukaryotic microalgae"
(DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.07.641979).
We revisited all publications in the last century focusing on the axenisation of microalgae, and used Network Component Analysis to understand how workflows can be (re-)desgined to remove contaminating microbes from microalgal cultures.

Photosynthetic light requirement near the theoretical minimum detected in Arctic #microalgae: Clara Hoppe et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-51636-8
"Under the sea ice during the #Arctic’s pitch-black polar night, #algae power #photosynthesis on the lowest light levels ever observed in nature."
#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."

Contaminated microalgal cultures; especially with multidrug-resistant bacteria, pose a challenge for researchers.
Our preprint," Axenisation of Oleaginous Microalgal Cultures via Anoxic Photosensitisation", described a new method using anaerobic conditions and Rose Bengal to decontaminate cultures without antibiotics.

Do share with other algae researchers here, as I would love to connect with them.

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.
