Decreasing O2 availability reduces cellular protein contents in a marine diatom
Abstract.
"Anthropogenic activities and climate change are exacerbating marine deoxygenation. Apart from aerobic organisms, reduced O2 also affects photoautotrophic organisms in the ocean. This is because without available O2, these O2 producers cannot maintain their mitochondrial respiration, especially under dim-light or dark conditions, which may disrupt the metabolism of macromolecules including proteins. We used growth rate, particle organic nitrogen and protein analyses, proteomics, and transcriptomics to determine cellular nitrogen metabolism of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana grown under three O2 levels in a range of light intensities [...]".
