Importance of organism and transcriptomesGoniomonas species are related to cryptophytes, but have lost a functioning chloroplast. They consume bacteria including cyanobacteria and small phytoplankton as prey, and thus are involved in recycling of nutrients through the microbial loop. They have been important model organisms for studying grazer-prey dynamics. Their biology is not well studied and we could not find a genome project for this group. Recently a related group of colorless cryptophytes has been determined to be widespread. This goniomonas isolate was obatined from the CCMP and has been used in grazing experiments with different strains in our labs. We would hope to compare its transcriptome during growth with and without Synechococcus and to other nanoflagellates growing with and without Synechococcus
