Differential expression of phosphorus acquisition genes in response to phosphorus stress in two Raphidiopsis raciborskii strains

The cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii is a nuisance in freshwater ecosystems. Strains vary in their physiological responses to environmental drivers, thus a greater understanding of the magnitude of strain variation is required to characterize the species. In this study, two strains of R. raciborskii isolated from a tropical Australian water reservoir were grown with and without phosphorus (P) to determine any relative response to P...
