Emerging harmful algal bloom species over the last four decades in China

Haifeng Gu et al.

Summary: The first recorded micro-algae bloom in Chinese coastal waters dates back to 1933, and since 1990, the frequency and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have increased significantly. Fish-killing HABs, caused by species such as Karenia mikimotoi and Karlodinium digitatum, have become more severe. Other major toxic algal blooms have caused economic losses and occasional human mortality. Due to global climate and marine environment changes, as well as anthropological activities, there is a potential for the emergence of new types of HABs in China in the future.

Composition and spatial-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton community shaped by environmental selection and interactions in the Jiaozhou Bay

Shuya Liu et al.

Summary: This study systematically examined the composition and spatial-temporal dynamics of phytoplankton in the Jiaozhou Bay, revealing high phytoplankton diversity and strong seasonal succession patterns. The assembly of phytoplankton community is mainly shaped by environmental factors, species-species interrelationships, and unique resting stages, rather than stochastic processes. The study also highlights the importance of coevolution in this marine ecosystem.

Development of high-resolution chloroplast markers for intraspecific phylogeographic studies of Phaeocystis globosa

Qingchun Zhang et al.

Summary: Phaeocystis globosa is an important harmful algal bloom species found in temperate and tropical coastal waters globally. This study analyzed genetic distances and phylogeographic relationships among different strains using nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers, with the chloroplast rbcS-rpl27 intergenic spacer showing the strongest ability to distinguish geographic strains.

Empirical evidence for concerted evolution in the 18S rDNA region of the planktonic diatom genus Chaetoceros

Daniele De Luca et al.

Summary: Concerted evolution is a process of homogenisation of repetitive sequences within a genome. By studying Chaetoceros species, researchers found that the dominant haplotype is a result of efficient homogenisation mechanism, while minor haplotypes are mostly generated by incomplete homogenisation. Additionally, the study showed that phylogenetic networks can be inferred from environmental data to visualize concerted evolution.

Global drivers of eukaryotic plankton biogeography in the sunlit ocean

Guilhem Sommeria-Klein et al.

Summary: This study utilized Tara Oceans metabarcoding data to compare the biogeography of 70 major groups of eukaryotic plankton, revealing two main axes of biogeographic variation: more diverse groups exhibited clearer biogeographic patterns, with large-bodied consumers structured by oceanic basins and small-bodied phototrophs structured by latitude and local environmental conditions.

Metabarcoding Analysis of Harmful Algal Bloom Species in the Western Pacific Seamount Regions

Qing Xu et al.

Summary: This study quantitatively analyzed the composition and distribution patterns of plankton species in the Western Pacific seamount regions using metabarcoding analysis. The findings revealed a diverse plankton community in the Western Pacific seamount regions, with Dinoflagellata being the most dominant division. Furthermore, 36 harmful algal bloom species were identified, many of which showed unique spatial distribution patterns in the Western Pacific seamount regions.

Cyanobacteria-Dominated Phytoplankton in the Oligotrophic South China Sea Maintain Photosynthetic Potential Despite Diurnal Photoinactivation of PSII

Xiangqi Yi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the photophysiological responses of phytoplankton communities in the oligotrophic South China Sea to intra-day variations in light regimes. The results showed that the photosynthetic potential of different stations was influenced by diurnal changes in light conditions, while the diurnal variation in electron transport rate was mainly controlled by the extent of photochemical quenching.

High genetic diversity of the harmful algal bloom species Phaeocystis globosa revealed using the molecular marker COX1

Huiyin Song et al.

Summary: Accumulated evidence suggests that the haptophyte species Phaeocystis globosa, crucial for climate control and potentially causing harmful algal blooms, exhibits a rich genetic diversity. COX1 can effectively differentiate different P. globosa strains due to low intra-genome variations and high resolution. Analysis of 57 P. globosa strains and seven field samples revealed at least seven distinct genetic clades, demonstrating high genetic diversity in this species.

Molecular characterization of harmful algal blooms in the Bohai Sea using metabarcoding analysis

Hailong Huang et al.

Summary: The study utilized the metabarcoding approach to investigate the composition, diversity, and distribution of HAB species in the Bohai Sea region, identifying numerous potential HAB species that had not been previously reported in the area. Furthermore, the research revealed the high sensitivity and power of metabarcoding analysis in detecting HABs and their species, emphasizing the value of routine and long-term monitoring of HAB species as a monitoring approach.

Metabarcoding dissection of harmful algal bloom species in the East China Sea off Southern Zhejiang Province in late spring

Yang Chen et al.

Summary: The coastal region of the East China Sea is a hotspot for harmful algal blooms in China, with unique HAB species and distinct spatial distribution patterns identified. Some HAB species showed substantially elevated abundance at specific sampling sites, suggesting multiple-species HAB events may be occurring. This study represented the first application of ASV-based metabarcoding analysis in studying protist and HAB species in the ECS.

Metabarcoding analysis of harmful algal bloom species in the Changjiang Estuary, China

Zongmei Cui et al.

Summary: The first metabarcoding analysis of HAB species was conducted in the Changjiang Estuary, identifying 86 HAB species, with most showing similar distribution patterns related to salinity and temperature gradients, as well as other key environmental factors. Unique HAB species, such as Katablepharis japonica and Skeletonema marinoi, not previously reported in the Changjiang Estuary, were also identified. The richness of HAB species in the estuary supports the potential formation of diverse HABs under favorable environmental conditions.
