Marinobacter adhaerens (PBVC038) was isolated from a harmful algal bloom event caused by the toxic dinoflagellate Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum (P. bahamense) in Sepanggar Bay, Sabah, Malaysia, in December 2012. Blooms of P. bahamense are frequently linked to paralytic shellfish poisoning, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Prior experimental evidence has implicated the role of symbiotic bacteria in bloom dynamics and the synthesis of biotoxins. The draft genome sequence data of a…

Intron-rich dinoflagellate genomes driven by Introner transposable elements of unprecedented diversity
Spliceosomal introns, which interrupt nuclear genes, are ubiquitous features of eukaryotic nuclear genes.¹ Spliceosomal intron evolution is complex, with different lineages ranging from virtually zero to thousands of newly created introns.²^(,)³^(,)⁴^(,)⁵ This punctate phylogenetic distribution could be explained if intron creation is driven by specialized transposable elements (“Introners”), with Introner-containing lineages undergoing frequent intron gain.⁶^(,)⁷^(,)⁸^(,)⁹^(,)^(10)…
