Carbon allocation strategy of Thalassiosira weissflogii in response to elevated pCO2

MCMengzhen ChengCLChe LiuDLDongxu Li

Key Points

  • The aim is to understand how Thalassiosira weissflogii allocates carbon resources in response to elevated pCO2 levels.
  • Investigated carbon allocation strategies under manipulated pCO2 conditions.
  • Analyzed chitin synthesis related to cell wall formation.
  • Examined adaptive responses to low pH environments.
  • Thalassiosira weissflogii prioritizes carbon allocation to chitin synthesis under high pCO2.
  • Chitin synthesis reinforces cell wall formation, aiding in adaptation to ocean acidification.

Abstract

, low pH) prompts T. weissflogii to prioritize the allocation of carbon resources to the synthesis of chitin. The synthesis of chitin may reinforce cell wall formation as an adaptive response to ocean acidification. Our research provides new insights into the marine acidification adaptation strategies of T. weissflogii.
