Photoautotrophically grown Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC1690 cells shifted from low to high light. The image was taken by M. Schroda with an Olympus BX53F Microscope using DIC optics. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is the first microalga in which riboswitches have been applied to regulate transgene expression (see review by Nguyen et al. in this issue).

ON THE COVER Scanning electron micrograph of Gambierdiscus lapillus sp. nov., on a Tescan VEGA3 microscope. The picture shows the heavy thecal ornamentation for which the species is named (Latin, lapillus = little gem). The new species may hold the key in identifying the causative agent of ciguatera fish poisoning in Australia. SEM image: Mona Hoppenrath [Vol. 53, No. 2, pp. 283–297]
