Coalescence and directed anisotropic growth of starch granule initials in subdomains of Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Christophe Kopp

Starch is the major form of energy storage in plant cells and forms discrete, semi-crystalline granules within plastids. Here the authors use electron tomography and nanoSIMS to show that Arabidopsis starch granules initiate in stromal pockets between thyl ...

MALDI-MS and NanoSIMS imaging techniques to study cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbioses

Anders Meibom, Christophe Kopp

Cnidarian-dinoflagellate photosynthetic symbioses are fundamental to biologically diverse and productive coral reef ecosystems. The hallmark of this symbiotic relationship is the ability of dinoflagellate symbionts to supply their cnidarian host with a wid ...

Subcellular Investigation of Photosynthesis-Driven Carbon and Nitrogen Assimilation and utilization in the Symbiotic Reef Coral: Pocillopora damicornis

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Christophe Kopp, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

UNLABELLED: Reef-building corals form essential, mutualistic endosymbiotic associations with photosynthetic Symbiodinium dinoflagellates, providing their animal host partner with photosynthetically derived nutrients that allow the coral to thrive in oligot ...

Highly Dynamic Cellular-Level Response of Symbiotic Coral to a Sudden Increase in Environmental Nitrogen

Anders Meibom, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Christophe Kopp, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Metabolic interactions with endosymbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium spp. are fundamental to reef-building corals (Scleractinia) thriving in nutrient-poor tropical seas. Yet, detailed understanding at the single-cell level of nutrient assim ...

Skeletal growth dynamics linked to trace-element composition in the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis

Anders Meibom, Christophe Kopp, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

The micro-and ultra-structural skeletal growth dynamics of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis (Linnaeus 1758) was studied with pulsed Sr-86-labeling and high spatial resolution NanoSIMS isotopic imaging. Average extension rates for the two basi ...

26Mg labeling of the sea urchin regenerating spine: Insights into echinoderm biomineralization process

Anders Meibom, Christophe Kopp, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

This paper reports the results of the first dynamic labeling experiment with regenerating spines of sea urchins Paracentrotus lividus using the stable isotope Mg-26 and NanoSIMS high-resolution isotopic imaging, which provide a direct information about the ...

Metabolic response of the cerebral cortex following gentle sleep deprivation and modafinil administration

Pierre Magistretti, Jean-Marie Petit, Christophe Kopp

Objectives: The main energy reserve of the brain is glycogen, which is almost exclusively localized in astrocytes. We previously reported that cerebral expression of certain genes related to glycogen metabolism changed following instrumental sleep deprivat ...
