| Abstract | Phaeocystis globosa is a major causative agent of harmful algal blooms in the global ocean, featuring a complex polymorphic life cycle alternating between free-living solitary cells and colonial cells. Colony is the dominant morphotype during P. globosa bloom. However, the underlying mechanism of colony formation is poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively compared global transcriptomes of P. globosa cells at four distinctive colony formation stages: free-living solitary cells, two cell-, four cell- and multi-cell colonies, under low (20 degrees C) and high (32 degrees C) temperatures, and characterized the genes involved in colony formation. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis was enhanced while its degradation was decreased during colony formation, resulting in the accumulation of GAGs that are an essential substrate of the colony matrix. Nitrogen metabolism and glutamine synthesis were remarkably increased in the colonial cells, which provided precursors for GAG synthesis. Furthermore, cell defense and motility were down-regulated in the colonial cells, thereby conserving energy for GAG synthesis. Notably, high temperature led to decreased synthesis and increased degradation of GAGs, resulting in insufficient substrates to form the colony. Our study indicates that GAGs accumulation is critical for colony formation of P. globosa, but high temperature inhibits GAGS accumulation and colony formation. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
