Genome evolution of a non-parasitic secondary heterotroph, the diatom Nitzschia putrida

Ryoma Kamikawa, Takako Mochizuki, Mika Sakamoto…·Yasukazu Nakamura

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.
