Profiles of quorum sensing related sequences in phycospheric microorganisms during a marine dinoflagellate bloom, determined by a metagenomic approach

collected field samples during a marine dinoflagellate bloom (Gymnodinium catenatum), and performed metagenomic sequencing, to investigate the characteristics of QS sequences, including those of AI-1 and AI-2, during the HAB event.研究人员于海洋链状裸甲藻（Gymnodinium catenatum）水华暴发期间采集野外样本，并开展宏基因组测序，以探究此次有害藻华（Harmful Algal Bloom, HAB）事件中群体感应（Quorum Sensing, QS）序列（涵盖自诱导物1（Autoinducer-1, AI-1）与自诱导物2（Autoinducer-2, AI-2）相关序列）的特征。
