Dinoflagellates are responsible for most marine harmful algal blooms (HABs) and play vital roles in many ocean processes. More than 90% of dinoflagellates are vitamin B(12) auxotrophs and that B(12) availability can control dinoflagellate HABs, yet the genetic basis of B(12) auxotrophy in dinoflagellates in the framework of the ecology of dinoflagellates and particularly HABs, which was the objective of this work. Here, we investigated the presence, phylogeny, and transcription of two methionine…

The diversity of marine cyanobacteria has been extensively studied due to their vital roles in ocean primary production. However, little is understood about the diversity of cyanobacterial species involved in symbiotic relationships. In this study, we successfully sequenced the complete genome of a cyanobacterium in symbiosis with Citharistes regius, a dinoflagellate species thriving in the open ocean. A phylogenomic analysis revealed that the cyanobacterium (CregCyn) belongs to the marine…
