Introduction Harmful algal bloom (HAB)-forming species and populations exhibit substantial intraspecific functional trait variation, which can confer eco-evolutionary advantages. Phenotypic variability among populations can buffer the immediate detrimental effects of environmental fluctuations, with more diverse populations expected to survive chan...

Here, we report the draft genome of Aureococcus anophagefferens strain CCMP1851, which is susceptible to the virus Kratosvirus quantuckense. CCMP1851 complements an available genome for a virus-resistant strain (CCMP1850) isolated from the same bloom. Future studies can now use this genome to examine genetic hints of virus resistance and susceptibi...

Zooplankton grazers, like copepods, can feed on toxic microalgae and live normally. We hypothesize that gut microbial communities (GMCs) may contribute to the detoxification of the host by changing their compositions and recruiting more beneficial bacteria. Here, we measured the physiological responses of two copepod species (Acartia sp. and Paraca...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine environments have significant adverse effects on public health, aquaculture and recreational activities. Surges of certain phytoplanktonic toxin-producing microalgae (mostly dinoflagellates or diatoms species) can induce Amnesic, Diarrhetic or Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP, DSP and PSP). Among HAB species,...

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) can harm people, animals, and affect consumptive and recreational use of inland waters. Monitoring cyanoHABs is often limited. However, chlorophyll-a (chl-a) is a common water quality metric and has been shown to have a relationship with cyanobacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently upda...

Introduction Successful management and mitigation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) requires an in-depth understanding of the physiology and nutrient utilization of the organisms responsible. We explored the preference of various nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) substrates by two novel groups of HAB-forming phytoplankton originating from the Indian Riv...

Domoic acid-producing blooms of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia are pervasive in coastal environments globally. Domoic acid, a neurotoxin, accumulates via trophic transfer into marine food webs and is often associated with mass marine mammal mortality and stranding events. In Southern California, California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) are ...

Since the discovery of the first “giant virus,” particular attention has been paid toward isolating and culturing these large DNA viruses through Acanthamoeba spp. bait systems. While this method has allowed for the discovery of plenty novel viruses in the Nucleocytoviricota, environmental -omics-based analyses have shown that there is a wealth of ...

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have garnered increasing attention due to their adverse effects on water quality, aquatic ecosystems, and animal and human health. Prior research suggests that HAB-contaminated water containing toxins can significantly affect the development of plant structures and inhibit essential physiological processes. However, the ...
