Identifying Euglena Gracilis Metabolic and Transcriptomic Adaptations in Response to Mercury Stress
Mercury contamination in aquatic systems poses a serious environmental stress to phototrophic plankton.We used Euglena gracilis to gain an understanding of the physiochemical changes resulting from mercury stress across the transcriptome and metabolome.Using a combination of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry sophie allport
