Abstract: 
The unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina is well adapted to salt stress and contains compounds (including β-carotene and vitamins) with potential commercial value. A large transcriptome database of D. salina during the adjustment, exponential and stationary growth phases was generated using a high throughput sequencing platform. We characterized the metabolic processes in D. salina with a focus on valuable metabolites, with the aim of manipulating D. salina to achieve greater economic value in large-scale production through a bioengineering strategy. Gene expression profiles under salt stress verified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) implied that salt can regulate the expression of key genes. This study generated a substantial fraction of D. salina transcriptional sequences for the entire growth cycle, providing a basis for the discovery of novel genes. This first full-scale transcriptome study of D. salina establishes a foundation for further comparative genomic studies.

盐生海藻杜氏盐藻的转录组测序以及注释

目的:解析杜氏盐藻代谢过程,主要关注盐胁迫下累积的代谢物(渗透平衡产物、多胺和类胡萝卜素)的代谢。
创新点:本研究通过高通量测序产生了大量来自杜氏盐藻整个生长周期的转录组数据,描述了杜氏盐藻在盐胁迫下累积的渗透平衡产物、多胺和类胡萝卜素的代谢过程。另外通过该手段也进一步分析了盐胁迫处理下,抑制精胺合成底物的供应可能会缓解盐藻增殖对胡萝卜素含量的影响。
方法:以来自3个不同生长时期的杜氏盐藻为材料,进行大规模转录组测序。在转录组功能注释的基础上,预测了杜氏盐藻盐胁迫下累积的渗透平衡产物(图3)、多胺(图4)和类胡萝卜素(图5)的代谢路径。利用相对定量聚合酶链反应(qPCR)技术构建了相关代谢路径中关键基因的表达谱(图6)。
结论:通过杜氏盐藻转录组测序共获取了39 820条单一序列。在功能注释和聚类分析的基础上预测了杜氏盐藻盐胁迫下累积的渗透平衡产物(甘油和脯氨酸)、多胺以及类胡萝卜素的代谢路径。相关代谢途径的关键酶的表达谱分析,说明盐能够调节甘油、脯氨酸以及多胺的代谢过程。抑制精胺合成底物的供应可能会缓解盐藻增殖对胡萝卜素含量的影响。
