Moderate warming rewires one-third of microalga's genes, study finds
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii alters the activity of about one-third of its protein-coding genes in response even to moderate temperature changes. The study, published in the journal The Plant Cell, points to far-reaching consequences of climate change for aquatic ecosystems and soil. The research team is from the Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse at Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Leibniz Institute for Natu
