Carbon Dioxide Concentration Mechanisms in Natural Populations of Marine Diatoms: Insights From Tara Oceans.

ABSTRACT: Marine diatoms, the most successful photoautotrophs in the ocean, efficiently sequester a significant part of atmospheric CO₂ to the ocean interior through their participation in the biological carbon pump. However, it is poorly understood how marine diatoms fix such a considerable amount of CO₂, which is vital information toward modeling their response to future CO₂ levels. The Tara Oceans expeditions generated molecular data coupled with in situ biogeochemical measurements across the main ocean regions, and thus provides a framework to compare diatom genetic and transcriptional flexibility under natural CO₂ variability. The current study investigates the interlink between the environmental variability of CO₂ and other p
