Elucidating the interactions between algae and associated microbial communities is critical for understanding the mechanisms that mediate the dynamic of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine environment. However, the microbial functional profiles and their biogeochemical potential in HABs process remains elusive, especially during a complete natural HAB cycle. Here, we used pyrosequencing and functional gene array (GeoChip) to investigate microbial community dynamics and metabolic potential during a natural dinoflagellate (Noctiluca scintillans) bloom.

Until now, we know little about the genomic information of , so a transcriptome study was conducted to clarify the physiological adaptations related to nutritional deficiency. Here, we performed RNA-Seq analysis to assess the gene expression patterns of under N and P deficient conditions for 0 (control), 6, and 72 h.
