Metatranscriptomics of eukaryotic phytoplankton incubations for iron storage study in the California Upwelling Zone Raw sequence reads. uncultured eukaryotic phytoplankton

The overall objective of this project is to examine the ecological importance of iron storage as a selective mechanism controlling the distributions of diatoms along natural and artificial iron gradients in oceanic and coastal marine ecosystems. This field study was conducted in the California Current System in July of 2014 to examine iron storage capacities in coastal diatom communities.

本项目的总体目标为探究铁储存作为一种选择机制，在海洋与近岸海洋生态系统中调控硅藻（diatoms）沿自然及人工铁梯度（iron gradients）分布的生态重要性。本野外研究于2014年7月在加利福尼亚流系（California Current System）开展，旨在探究近岸硅藻群落的铁储存能力。
