Importance of organism and transcriptomes | Blooms of toxic phytoplankton can negatively impact coastal ecosystems and economies through poisoning events that induce high mortality rates in fish (Landsberg, 2002), birds (Shumway et al. 2003; Jessup et al. 2009), and illness in humans (Van Dolah et al. 2001). The succes of the toxic raphidophite Heterosigma akashiwo depends on an interplay of halotolerance and a reduction in predator induced mortality rates (Harvey & Menden-Deuer 2011). In a series of linked nominations we investigate the genetic basis for the halotolerance of several predator and toxic algal species. This transcriptome will supply information on gene expression in this HAB species in response to predation and exposure to a heterotrophic protists predator. |
