Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) meet Arctic and sub-Arctic marine diatoms and their associated symbionts
In this study, the effects of long-term exposure to a PFAS mixture on two model diatoms, Cylindrotheca closterium and Thalassiosira pseudonana, which represent important Arctic and temperate phytoplankton community members, were investigated. High-throughput PacBio ISO RNA-seq profiles were generated to evaluate the metabolic disruptions caused by chronic exposure to a PFAS mixture.
