Transcriptome Analysis of the Harmful Dinoflagellate Heterocapsa bohaiensis Under Varied Nutrient Stress Conditions.

ABSTRACT: The increasing prevalence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) driven by eutrophication, particularly in China's nearshore waters, is a growing concern. Dinoflagellate Heterocapsa bohaiensis blooms have caused significant ecological and economic damage, as well as mass mortality, in cultivated species. Nutrients are one of the primary inducers of H. bohaiensis blooms. However, the transcriptomic studies of H. bohaiensis remain sparse, and its metabolic pathways are unknown. This study analyzed the transcriptome of H. bohaiensis under varying nutrient conditions (nitrogen at 128, 512, and 880 μM; phosphate at 8, 6, and 32 μM), focusing on differential gene expression. The results indicated that deviations in nutrient conditions (higher or lower N:P ratios) led to a hig
