Functional Prediction of Biological Profile During Eutrophication in Marine Environment

In the marine environment, coastal nutrient pollution and algal blooms are increasing in many coral reefs and surface waters around the world, leading to higher concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and sulfur (S) compounds. The adaptation of the marine micro...

Sumario:In the marine environment, coastal nutrient pollution and algal blooms are increasing in many coral reefs and surface waters around the world, leading to higher concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), and sulfur (S) compounds. The adaptation of the marine microbiota to this stress involves evolutionary processes through mutations that can provide selective phenotypes. The aim of this in silico analysis is to elucidate the potential candidate hub proteins, biological processes, and key metabolic pathways involved in the pathogenicity of bacterioplankton during excess of nutrients. The analysis was carried out on the model organism Escherichia coli K-12, by adopting an analysis pipeline consisting of a set of packages from the Cystoscape platform. The results obtained show that the metabolism of carbon and sugars generally are the 2 driving mechanisms for the expression of virulence factors.
