米氏凱倫藻環(huán)境脅迫條件的分子響應(yīng)及產(chǎn)毒相關(guān)基因的表達(dá)調(diào)控機(jī)制

米氏凱倫藻環(huán)境脅迫條件的分子響應(yīng)及產(chǎn)毒相關(guān)基因的表達(dá)調(diào)控機(jī)制摘要：米氏凱倫藻是一種常見的赤潮藻類，在大量繁殖時會產(chǎn)生沿海毒素，嚴(yán)重威脅人類健康和海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。本研究通過對不同環(huán)境脅迫條件下米氏凱倫藻的分子響應(yīng)進(jìn)行分析，深入探究了其產(chǎn)毒相關(guān)基因的表達(dá)調(diào)控機(jī)制。研究結(jié)果表明，不同環(huán)境脅迫條件下，米氏凱倫藻整體基因表達(dá)水平和產(chǎn)毒量均發(fā)生了不同程度的變化；鈣信號、過氧化物酶、核酸代謝等多個通路與產(chǎn)毒相關(guān)基因的表達(dá)調(diào)控密切相關(guān)。其中，據(jù)發(fā)現(xiàn)在長時間低溫和高濃度Cu2+脅迫下，米氏凱倫藻的合成類毒素較高，并且與鈣信號、過氧化物酶和核酸代謝等通路緊密相關(guān)。這些結(jié)果可以為防控米氏凱倫藻赤潮提供一定的科學(xué)依據(jù)和參考。
