| Study Title | Karenia brevis allelopathy compromises the lipidome, membrane integrity, and photosynthetic efficiency of competitors |
| Study Type | Untargeted lipidomics |
| Study Summary | Allelopathy, or the release of compounds that inhibit competitors, is a form of interference competition that is common among bloom-forming phytoplankton. Allelopathy is hypothesized to play a role in bloom propagation and maintenance and is well established in the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis. K. brevis typically suppresses competitor growth through unknown mechanisms over the course of many days. When we investigated the effects of allelopathy on the lipidomes of two competing phytoplankton, Asterionellopsis glacialis and Thalassiosira pseudonana using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS)- based metabolomics, we found that the lipidomes of both species were significantly altered, however A. glacialis maintained a more robust response whereas T. pseudonana saw significant alterations in fatty acid synthesis, cell membrane integrity, and a decrease in photosynthetic efficiency. Membrane- associated lipids were significantly suppressed for T. pseudonana exposed to allelopathy to the point of permeabilizing the cell membrane of living cells. The dominant mechanisms of K. brevis allelopathy appear to target lipid biosynthesis affecting multiple physiological pathways suggesting that exuded compounds have the ability to significantly alter competitor physiology and give K. brevis a competitive edge over sensitive species. |
