Transcriptional profiles of Microcystis reveal gene expression shifts that promote bloom persistence in in situ mesocosms by Lauren E. Krausfeldt, Paisley S. Samuel, Robert P. Smith, Hidetoshi Urakawa, Barry H. Rosen, Rita R. Colwell, Jose V. Lopez

“…These capacities coincided with the upregulation of toxin-antitoxin systems, CRISPR-cas genes, and transposases suggesting that phage defense and genome rearrangement are critical in bloom persistence. Overall, our results show the stepwise transcriptional response of a Microcystis bloom to the introduction of nutrients, specifically urea, as it is sustained in a natural setting. …”
