kleptoplastidic foraminifer Nonionella stella Metatranscriptomic data

Metatranscriptomic data from in situ-preserved samples unexposed to sunlight to assess the functionality of active metabolic pathways of N. stella in their natural deep-water sulfidic environment. This approach allowed us to examine whether kleptoplasty confers the capacity to assimilate inorganic carbon and the role(s) of other metabolisms potentially advantageous to the host.

本数据集包含采自未受阳光照射的原位保存样本的宏转录组（Metatranscriptomic）数据，用以评估N. stella在其自然深水硫化环境中活性代谢通路的功能。本研究通过该方法，旨在探究盗食质体作用（kleptoplasty）是否可赋予宿主同化无机碳的能力，同时解析其他可能对宿主有益的代谢过程所扮演的角色。
