The microalgae Alexandrium minutum produces neurotoxins responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning, which upon accumulation in shellfish represent a human health risk. This species recurrently forms toxic blooms in the Northern part of the French Brittany coast. At present, algae identification relies on tedious microscope observations mostly performed by skilled taxonomists in laboratories. Newly emerging fields of molecular taxonomy, nanoscale technology and biotechnology offer opportunities for the development of in-situ biosensors for the detection and the monitoring of toxic algae. |

Virus-microbe interactions in the ocean are commonly described by “boom and bust” dynamics, whereby a numerically dominant microorganism is lysed and replaced by a virus-resistant one. Here, we isolated a microalga strain and its infective dsDNA virus whose dynamics are characterized instead by parallel growth of both the microalga and the virus. Experimental evolution of clonal lines revealed that this viral production originates from the lysis of a minority of virus-susceptible cells, which are regenerated from resistant cells. Whole-genome sequencing demonstrated that this resistant-susceptible switch involved a large deletion on one chromosome. Mathematical modeling explained how the switch maintains stable microalga-virus population dynamics... |
