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

“…Once Microcystis presumably became N-replete, upregulation of amino acid metabolism, microcystin biosynthesis, and other processes associated with biomass generation occurred. 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. …”
