Transcriptomes of co-cultured marine microbes (Emiliania huxleyi, Thalassiosira pseudonana, and Synechococcus) and Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3

These data are from three laboratory studies of co-cultured temperature-acclimated marine microbes and Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3.

Model systems were established in which temperature-acclimated microbial strains were co-cultured with the heterotrophic bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi. Cultures of the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi CCMP151 were pre-acclimated to three temperature treatments (15°, 20°, and 28° Celsius (C)). Cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana CCMP1335 were pre-acclimated to 14°, 20°, and 28°C. Cultures of Synechococcus sp. WH8102 were pre-acclimated to 20°, 24°, and 28°C.

The investigators characterized the transcriptomes of both the phytoplankter and heterotrophic bacterium at initial and late exponential growth at the three temperatures.
