We detected the toxin leadbeaterin‑1 and found that nutrient stress correlates with the expression of polyketide synthase genes and mixotrophy pathways.
Suggests? These blooms are more resilient and deadly under nutrient depletion.

Congratulations to our great team led by Tim Stephens and Julia Van Etten for publishing this wonderful paper about how microalgae and microbes interact at Yellowstone National Park to maintain stable ecosystems.(academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...). @couchmicroscopy.bsky.social @apmweber.bsky.social
