We investigated cellular (i.e., growth, domoic acid production, and nutrient consumption) and molecular (transcriptomic analyses) responses to varying nutrient concentrations across several strains belonging to three species of the toxic diatomgenus Pseudo-nitzschia. Threemain resultswere obtained. First, strains fromthe same species displayed similar transcriptomic, but not necessarily cellular, responses to the experimental conditions. It showed the importance of considering intraspecific diversity to investigate functional divergence between species. Second, a major exception to the first findingwas a strain recently isolated fromthe natural environment and displaying contrasting gene expression patterns related to cell motility and domoic acid production. This result illustrated the profound modifications thatmay occurwhen transferring a cell fromthe natural to the in vitro environment and asks for future studies to better understand the influence of culture duration and life cycleon expression patterns. Third, transcriptomic responsesweremore similarbetween the two speciesdisplaying similar ecology in situ, irrespective of the genetic distance. This was especially true formolecular responses related to TCA cycle, photosynthesis, and nitrogen metabolism. However, transcripts related to phosphate uptake were variable between species. It highlighted the importance of considering both overall genetic distance and ecological divergence to explain functional divergence between species. {\textcopyright} The Author(s) 2019.

While Pseudo-nitzschia spp. blooms occurred during the two years of study, Pseudo-nitzschia species diversity and particulate domoic acid concentrations varied greatly. In 2012, three different species were identified during the spring bloom (P. australis, P. pungens and P. fraudulenta) with high pDA concentrations (\~{}1400 ng l-1) resulting in shellfish harvesting closures. In contrast, the 2013 spring was characterised by a P. delicatissima bloom without any toxic event. Above all, the results show that high pDA concentrations coincided with the presence of P. australis and with potential silicate limitation (Si:N \< 1), while nitrate concentrations were still replete. The contrasting environmental conditions between 2012 and 2013 highlight different environmental controls that might favour the development of either P. delicatissima or P. australis. This study points to the key role of Pseudo-nitzschia diversity and cellular toxicity in the control of particulate domoic acid variations and highlights the fact that diversity and toxicity are influenced by nutrients, especially nutrient ratios. {\textcopyright} 2017 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {analogs and derivatives, analysis, Bay, Bays, Biodiversity, chemistry, Diatom, Diatoms, Domoic acid, France, Geography, kainic acid, Nitrates, nitric acid derivative, particulate matter, phosphate, Phosphates, Physiology, Phytoplankton, Principal Component Analysis, season, Seasons, species difference, Species Specificity, time factor, Time Factors}, issn = {15689883}, doi = {10.1016/j.hal.2017.07.005}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85028543709\&doi=10.1016\%2fj.hal.2017.07.005\&partnerID=40\&md5=def23b37b0d16a1ae7ab65a7ef2b940b}, author = {Thorel, Maxine and Pascal Claquin and Mathilde Schapira and Romain Le Gendre and Riou, Philippe and Didier Goux and Bertrand Le Roy and Raimbault, V and Deton-Cabanillas, A.-F. and Bazin, Pauline and Kientz-Bouchart, Val{\'e}rie and Juliette Fauchot} }
