Contrasting species-specific stress response to environmental pH determines the fate of coccolithophores in future oceans - Ocean Acidification

Highlights Abstract Molecular mechanisms driving species-specific environmental sensitivity in coccolithophores are unclear but crucial in understanding species selection and adaptation to environmental change. This study examined proteomic and physiological changes in three species under varying pH conditions. We showed that changing pH drives intracellular oxidative stress and changes membrane potential. Upregulation in antioxidant, DNA repair…
