A third of a microalga's genes switch with a few degrees of warming

A new study shows the model microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reshuffles about a third of its protein-coding genes in response to moderate warming, with photosynthesis, protein folding and energy metabolism most affected.

How this piece was framed: The wire treatment of the iScience paper emphasised the novelty of a transcriptome-wide temperature response in a model alga. This piece keeps the novelty claim, situates the result against the temperature ranges now regularly recorded in rivers and shallow seas, and reads the implications for algal aquaculture and for ocean-carbon models that most cable-news coverage would not have space to develop.
