Transcriptome-resolved diel metabolism of a coastal Phaeocystis bloom links cellular physiology to oxygen production
This study contrasts diel gene expression and biogeochemistry during a bloom of the haptophyte alga Phaeocystis globosa with a post-bloom ecosystem state in the Southern North Sea. Through hourly metatranscriptomic sampling and accompanying ecosystem and biogeochemical measurements, we capture shifts in microeukaryotic gene expression profiles over two diel cycles.
