Abstract
Marine phytoplankton is one of the most important nodes in global biogeochemical cycle. Deciphering temperature-associated marine phytoplankton cell stoichiometric changes and the underlying molecular mechanisms are therefore of great ecological concerns. However, knowledge of how phytoplankton adjust the cell stoichiometry to sustain growth under temperature changes is still lacking. This study investigates the variations of protein and metabolite profiles in a marine dinoflagellate across temperatures at which the field blooms usually occur and highlights the temperature-dependent molecular traits and key metabolites that may be associated with rapid cell growth and temperature stress acclimation.
