  • Descrição: Microalgae are continuously shaping Earth’s atmosphere through oxygenic photosynthesis, and nowadays, half of the photosynthesis is attributed to microbial photosynthesis (Field et al., 1998; Behrenfeld et al., 2005). While algal photosynthesis contributes to offsetting the CO2 footprint, it also produces nitric oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas. In some ecological niches microalgae can produce hydrogen (H2), a promising energy carrier; therefore microalgae are actively explored for their potential as a platform for production of renewable energy. Measuring gas exchange between algae and the atmosphere, and understanding biological mechanisms underlying photosynthetic CO2 capture, and O2, H2, or N2O production, holds great promise—not only to better evaluate the reciprocal effects of global changes on oceanic carbon sinks, but also to explore the limits of biomass and biofuel productivity of algae. Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) was initially developed to measure O2 exchange between algal cells and the surrounding liquid medium (Hoch and Kok, 1963), and its use has since been extended to other gases including H2 and more recently, N2O (Burlacot et al., 2020). Here we review recent breakthroughs allowed by MIMS in dissecting molecular mechanisms of gas exchange in microalgae (Fig. 1) and provide perspectives on how MIMS will be crucial to address future challenges in algal research.
