In this study, the molecular mechanism of microalgae cell death was detected. The results showed that the cell growth rate and photosynthetic efficiency were inhibited with addition of algicidal strain KA22, while the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative damage in <em>H. akashiwo</em> cells increased. A total of 2056 unigenes were recognized to be differentially expressed in transcriptome sequences. In particular, the transcriptional levels of light-harvesting pigments and structural proteins in the oxygen-evolving-complex were continuously down-regulated, corresponding to the significant reduction of photosynthetic efficiency and the accumulation of ROS. Furthermore, glutamate dehydrogenase was significantly up-regulated in abundance. Meanwhile, calcium-dependent protein kinases were also detected with significant changes. Collectively, algicidal stress caused the suppressed electron transfer in chloroplast and impaired detoxification of intracellular oxidants by glutathione, which may subsequently result in multiple cell regulation and metabolic responses and ultimately lead to the ROS-dependent cell death of <em>H. akashiwo</em>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18321,"journal":{"name":"Marine genomics","volume":"69 ","pages":"Article 101027"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9724742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, meta-transcriptomics and meta-proteimic analysis were combined to identify biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in the symbiotic bacteria of the <em>C. quadricolor</em> mantle. Symbiotic bacteria were separated from the host by differential pelleting, and then total RNA was extracted, purified, and sequenced. Meta-transcriptomic analysis was done using different natural product mining tools to identify biosynthetic transcript clusters (BTCs). Furthermore, proteins were extracted from the same cells and then analyzed by LC-MS. A meta-proteomic analysis was performed to find proteins that are translated from BCGs. Finally, only 227 proteins have been translated from 40,742 BTCs. The majority of these clusters were polyketide synthases (PKSs) with antibacterial activity. Ten novel potential metabolic clusters with the ability to produce antibiotics have been identified in Novosphingobium and Microbacteriaceae, including members of the ribosomal synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), polyketide synthases, and others.
