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.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how microbial communities change during different stages of algal blooms, revealing that both environmental factors and random processes influence this succession.
- Attached and free-living bacterial communities responded differently to the bloom, with free-living bacteria being particularly sensitive to changes during the bloom stages.
- Analysis indicated that while attached bacteria are mainly shaped by environmental selection, free-living bacteria show a mix of deterministic and stochastic influences throughout algal bloom development.
