Transcriptional patterns identify resource controls on the diazotroph Trichodesmium in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans

The N2-fixing cyanobacterium *Trichodesmium* is intensely studied because of the control this organism exerts over the cycling of carbon and nitrogen in the low nutrient ocean gyres. Although iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) bioavailability are thought …

Transcriptional response of the harmful raphidophyte Heterosigma akashiwo to nitrate and phosphate stress

The marine eukaryotic alga *Heterosigma akashiwo* (Raphidophyceae) is known for forming ichthyotoxic harmful algal blooms (HABs). In the past 50 years, *H. akashiwo* blooms have increased, occurring globally in highly eutrophic coastal and estuarine …

Conserved transcriptional responses to nutrient stress in bloom-forming algae

The concentration and composition of bioavailable nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the upper ocean shape eukaryotic phytoplankton communities and influence their physiological responses. Phytoplankton are known to exhibit similar physiological …

Phosphorus availability regulates intracellular nucleotides in marine eukaryotic phytoplankton

Marine eukaryotic phytoplankton adapt to low phosphorus (P) in the oceans through a variety of step‐wise mechanisms including lipid substitution and decreased nucleic acid content. Here, we examined the impact of low P concentrations on intracellular …

The transcriptome and proteome of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana reveal a diverse phosphorus stress response

Phosphorus (P) is a critical driver of phytoplankton growth and ecosystem function in the ocean. Diatoms are an abundant class of marine phytoplankton that are responsible for significant amounts of primary production. With the control they exert on …
