What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

The cosmopolitan Thalassionema species are often dominant components of the plankton diatom flora and sediment diatom assemblages in all but the Polar regions, making important ecological contribution to primary productivity. Historical studies concentrated on their indicative function for the marine environment based primarily on morphological fea...
Many Margalefidinium species are cosmopolitan harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that have caused huge economic and ecological damage. Despite extensive research on Margalefidinium species, the biodiversity and spatial-temporal dynamics of these species remain obscure. Jiaozhou Bay is an ideal area for HAB research, being one of the earliest marine...
Background
Skeletonema species are prominent primary producers, some of which can also cause massive harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal waters under specific environmental conditions. Nevertheless, genomic information of Skeletonema species is currently limited, hindering advanced research on their role as primary producers and as HAB species....
Pseudo-nitzschia is an important genus of diatoms with many species capable of inducing harmful algae blooms (HABs) in coastal and oceanic waters, some of which produce the toxin domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). Pseudo-nitzschia delicatissima is a cosmopolitan species that can induce HABs and produce DA....
The cosmopolitan phytoplankton species Eucampia zodiacus Ehrenberg 1839 is a common harmful algal bloom (HAB) species with significant negative ecological impact. However, molecular information for this HAB species is limited. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) of E. zodiacus was constructed for the first time. The circular geno...
The cosmopolitan phytoplankton species Eucampia zodiacus is a common harmful algal bloom (HAB) species that have been found to cause HABs in essentially all coastal regions except the Polar regions. However, molecular information for this HAB species is limited with only a few molecular markers. In this project, we constructed the mitochondrial gen...

... Although they show a high degree of similarity in genome architecture and core gene set (Sabir et al., 2014;Ruck et al., 2017;Wang et al., 2022), diatom plastomes have undergone tremendous alterations in genome size, IR size and gene content, and gene order through evolutionary history of diatoms (Yu et al., 2018;Gastineau et al., 2021). Plastomes of some closely related intrageneric species or even intra-order species displayed highly conserved gene order and genome structure (Sabir et al., 2014;Hamsher et al., 2019;Xu et al., 2021;Zhang and Chen, 2022). ...

... B acteria inhabiting the phycosphere of marine algae have a noteworthy effect on phytoplankton growth and proliferation via nutrient exchanges and biochemical communications (1,2). Skeletonema tropicum is a warm water diatom species restricted to tropical and subtropical areas (3,4). Several studies have shown that Skeletonema spp. ...
... The complete cpDNAs have been shown to be valuable in inferring evolutionary relationships as an accessible genetic resource (Yu et al., 2018). With the recent development of DNA sequencing technologies, a growing number of cpDNAs of species in Bacillariophyta have been fully constructed (Yu et al., 2018;Yao et al., 2021;Zhang et al., 2021). Comparative analysis of cpDNAs can help us understand the complex evolutionary relationships of algal species. ...

... Multiple mtDNA-based molecular markers including cox1 and cytochrome b (cob), 16S rDNA have been commonly used for species identification. Molecular markers with higher resolution and specificity have been developed based on the comparative analysis of mtDNAs for many eukaryotic algae [18,21,22]. ...
