Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata is a planktonic marine diatom with diplontic life cycle comprising short sexual phase, during which gametes are produced following the encounter of two diploid cells opposite mating type (MT). Gene expression studies have highlighted presence substantial changes occurring at onset reproduction. Herein, we hypothesized that amount and nature cellular metabolites varies along process. To capture metabolome different harvesting times in an unbiased manner,...
Diatoms are photosynthetic microorganisms playing a key role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems; they at base food web and main drivers biogeochemical processes. These microalgae have unique diplontic life cycle which vegetative phase entails cell size reduction that would lead to extinction population if was not restored, usually by sexual reproduction. The switch from asexual reproduction needs be finely synchronized regulated ensure its success; this aim, cells evolved complex...
