TL;DR: Comparisons across strains demonstrate that E. huxleyi, which has long been considered a single species, harbours extensive genome variability reflected in different metabolic repertoires, and reveals a pan genome (core genes plus genes distributed variably between strains) probably supported by an atypical complement of repetitive sequence in the genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of CO2 and their modulation by light in the life-cycle stages of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi
Sebastian D. Rokitta,Björn Rost +1 more
TL;DR: PCO2 responses resembled those induced by high irradiances, indicating that ocean acidification affects the interplay between energy-generating processes (photosynthetic light reactions) and processes competing for energy (biomass buildup and calcification).
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of observed inconsistencies in carbonate chemistry measurements for ocean acidification studies
TL;DR: In the few datasets from ocean acidification research where all three of these parameters were measured, pCO2 values calculated from AT and CT are typically about 30% lower than those calculated from pH or CT and pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcriptome analyses reveal differential gene expression patterns between the life-cycle stages of emiliania huxleyi (haptophyta) and reflect specialization to different ecological niches
Sebastian D. Rokitta,Lennart J. de Nooijer,Scarlett Trimborn,Colomban de Vargas,Björn Rost,Uwe John +5 more
TL;DR: Results showed that the two life‐cycle stages represent functionally distinct entities that are evolutionarily shaped to thrive in the environment they typically inhabit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean Acidification Affects Redox-Balance and Ion-Homeostasis in the Life-Cycle Stages of Emiliania huxleyi
TL;DR: Ocean Acidification has been shown to affect photosynthesis and calcification in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi, a cosmopolitan calcifier that significantly contributes to the regulation of the biological carbon pumps, and the non-calcifying, haploid life-cycle stage was found to be relatively unaffected by OA.
