Domoic acid biosynthesis and genome expansion in Nitzschia navis-varingica
30 Oct 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Production of the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA) by benthic diatom Nitzschia navis-varingica poses considerable health and economic concerns. In this study, we employed whole genome sequencing and transcriptomic analyses of regionally distinct N. navis-varingica strains to unravel the genomic underpinnings of DA biosynthesis. Our analyses revealed sizable genomes—characterized by an abundance of repetitive...
