Evolution of metabolic pathways in red and brown algae

I investigate metabolic pathway evolution, integrating information about the evolution of single enzymes with the distribution of metabolites accross lineages. This led me to develop methods to tackle directly the evolution of pathways at that level of abstraction. I am strongly interested about eukaryotic metabolic pathways for which there is a significant amount of detailed biological knowledge, such as those producing signaling molecules.
