Unveiling a Hidden Gem: The Discovery of a New Freshwater Red Algal Species (Sheathia meghalayensis Elaya Perumal & Palanisamy, 2026) in Meghalaya, India by Botanical Survey of India

The Discovery of Sheathia meghalayensis   Elaya Perumal & Palanisamy, 2026 The world of phycology—the study of algae—just got a little more fascinating. While marine red algae dominate our coastal vocabulary, their freshwater counterparts, the Rhodophyta, represent an ancient and highly specialized evolutionary lineage. (Photo credit: Dr. U Elaya Perumal, Botanical Survey of India) In a paper published in Current Science , researchers U. Elaya Perumal and M. Palanisamy from the Botanical Survey of India announced a major taxonomic breakthrough: the discovery of a distinct, critically endangered freshwater red alga named Sheathia meghalayensis  Elaya Perumal & Palanisamy, 2026 . (Photo credit: Dr. U Elaya Perumal, Botanical Survey of India) The Background: Filling a Critical Gap in India’s Biodiversity Northeastern India is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, yet its freshwater macroalgae have historically lagged behind marine species in documentation.

Post-doctoral position in genetics and molecular biology of a metal-tolerant green microalga || Post doc vacancy in phycology || Algae academic vacancies

Post doc vacancy in phycology || Algae academic vacancies  A 2-year post-doctoral position funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) is available starting September 2023 at the Laboratory of Plant & Cell Physiology (LPCV) in Grenoble, France ( https://www.lpcv.fr/en ). The candidate will work in the Metal Stress team to develop molecular and genetic tools to analyze the response and adaptation to metals of a newly isolated metal-tolerant green microalga. Pollution of ecosystems by trace metal elements is a major and ever-growing threat to environmental and human health. A better understanding of the effects of metals on plants and microalgae is critical to develop approaches for treating contaminated environments using phytoremediation and phycoremediation. The characterization of organisms that tolerate and accumulate metals is essential to reach this objective as these organisms evolved sophisticated molecular mechanisms to cope with toxic elements. The Dem...
