Papers

1. Algae as nutritional and functional food sources: revisiting our understandingJournal of Applied Phycology · 2016 · 1,574 citations

   Global demand for macroalgal and microalgal foods is growing, and algae are increasingly being consumed for functional benefits beyond the traditional considerations of nutrition and health. There is substantial evidence for the health benefits of algal-derived food products, but there…

2. CO2 CONCENTRATING MECHANISMS IN ALGAE: Mechanisms, Environmental Modulation, and EvolutionAnnual Review of Plant Biology · 2005 · 1,530 citations

   The evolution of organisms capable of oxygenic photosynthesis paralleled a long-term reduction in atmospheric CO2 and the increase in O2. Consequently, the competition between O2 and CO2 for the active sites of RUBISCO became more and more restrictive to the…
