| Project Title: | Differentiating toxic and nontoxic congeneric harmful algae using the non-polar metabolome |
| Project Summary: | Recognition and rejection of chemically defended prey is critical to maximizing fitness for predators. Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) which strongly inhibit voltage-gated sodium channels in diverse animal taxa are produced by several species of the bloom-forming algal genus Alexandrium where they appear to function as chemical defenses against grazing copepods. Despite PSTs being produced and localized within phytoplankton cells, some copepods distinguish toxic from non-toxic prey, selectively ingesting less toxic cells, in ways that suggest cell surface recognition perhaps associated with non-polar metabolites. In this study LC/MS and NMR-based metabolomics revealed that the non-polar metabolomes of two toxic species (Alexandrium catenella and Alexandrium pacificum) vary considerably from their non-toxic congener Alexandrium tamarense despite all three being very closely related. Toxic and non-toxic Alexandrium spp. were distinguished from each other by metabolites belonging to seven lipid classes. Of these, 17 specific metabolites were significantly more abundant in both toxic A. catenella and A. pacificum compared to non-toxic A. tamarense suggesting that just a small portion of the observed metabolic variability is associated with toxicity. Future experiments aimed at deciphering chemoreception mechanisms of copepod perception of Alexandrium toxicity should consider these metabolites, and the broader lipid classes phosphatidylcholines and sterols, as potential candidate cues. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO001966 |
| Collection Summary: | Alexandrium cells were collected by vacuum filtration onto GF/F filters and quenched with liquid nitrogen. Frozen cells with filters were stored in foil (previously muffled for 3 h at 450 °C) at -80 °C until extraction. |

| Treatment ID: | TR001985 |
| Treatment Summary: | Metabolomes of toxic versus non-toxic species were compared using the following experimental pairings: A. tamarense (n=15) with A. catenella (n=15) (Experiment 1) and A. tamarense (n=15) with A. pacificum (n=15) (Experiment 2). The same non-toxic strain of A. tamarense was used in both experiments but the two experiments were conducted separately, in different months, to make the experiment manageable based on availability of batches grown from stock cultures. For both experiments, Alexandrium spp. cultures at a cell density of 12,000 to 13,000 cells mL-1 were split into fifteen 300 mL subcultures of each species which grew for two days. At the end of each experiment, during harvesting, a 1.0 mL aliquot from each culture was preserved with Lugol’s solution to measure cell concentrations |

Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP001979 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Non polar extracts were dissolved with volumes calculated to account for different cell densities at the time of harvesting, to a concentration equivalent to 1.62 x 10^7 Alexandrium cells mL-1 in dimethyl sulfoxide d6 (99.9% atom d6-DMSO; Cambridge Isotope Labs) containing 0.1% trimethylsilane (TMS) as internal standard for 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analysis. The extracts were transferred to 3 mm NMR tubes. Extracts from Experiment 1 (A. tamarense-A. catenella) were analyzed using a Bruker Avance IIIHD 800 MHz NMR spectrometer equipped with a 3 mm triple resonance broadband cryoprobe. Spectra of non-polar extracts from both experiments were acquired using a Bruker zg30 pulse sequence 1H NMR experiment compiled from 320 scans. Due to poor NMR spectral quality one A. tamarense replicate spectrum was removed from analysis of Experiment 1 (A. tamarense-A. catenella. |
