In some areas of the ocean, diatom growth is limited by the organic micronutrient cobalamin (vitamin B12). Cobalamin affects phytoplankton growth rate and biomass yield, though the consequences of cobalamin limitation are not well understood on the biochemical level. In a controlled laboratory setting, we grew two diatoms, Thalassiosira pseudonana and Navicula pelliculosa, under cobalamin limited and replete conditions to elucidate changes in metabolite pools under cobalamin limitation. Using targeted and untargeted metabolomics, we show that the cobalamin-dependent T. pseudonana experienced a metabolic cascade under cobalamin limitation that a ects the central methionine cycle, the transsulfuration pathway, and the composition of its osmolyte pools. N. pelliculosa, a cobalamin-independent diatom, also showed evidence for changes in the methionine cycle when grown without cobalamin, though to a lesser extent than what we observed in T. pseudonana. In both diatoms the concentration of 5'-methylthioadenosine decreased when limited for cobalamin, suggesting a disruption in the diatoms' polyamine biosynthesis. Furthermore, two acylcarnitines and adenosyl cobalamin accumulated in T. pseudonana under cobalamin limitation, suggesting the use of an adenosylcobalamin-dependent enzyme, methylmalonyl CoA mutase. Overall, these changes in metabolite pools yield insight into the metabolic consequences of cobalamin limitation in diatoms and suggest that cobalamin starvation may have consequences for microbial interactions that are based on metabolite production by phytoplankton. </p><p><br></p><p> <strong>Thalassiosira pseudonana</strong> protocols and data are reported in the current study <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS703' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS703</strong></a>. </p><p> <strong>Navicula pelliculosa</strong> protocols and data are reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS708' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS708</strong></a>.</p>", "submissionDate": "2018-07-06", "publicReleaseDate": "2019-06-04", "people": [{"comments": [], "firstName": "Katherine", "lastName": "Heal", "email": "kheal@uw.edu", "affiliation": "University of Washington", "address": "", "fax": "", "midInitials": "R", "phone": "6126164840", "roles": [{"comments": [], "annotationValue": "Postdoctoral Scholar", "termSource": {"comments": [], "name": "NCIT", "file": "http://data.bioontology.org/ontologies/NCIT", "version": "44", "description": "National Cancer Institute Thesaurus"}, "termAccession": "http://ncicb.nci.nih.gov/xml/owl/EVS/Thesaurus.owl"}]}, {"comments": [], "firstName": "Katherine R", "lastName": "Heal", "email": "", "affiliation": "School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.", "address": "", "fax": "", "midInitials": "", "phone": "", "roles": [{"comments": [], "annotationValue": "Author", "termSource": {"comments": [], "name": "", "file": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ncit.owl", "version": "18.10e", "description": "NCI Thesaurus OBO Edition"}, "termAccession": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C42781"}]}, {"comments": [], "firstName": "Natalie A", "lastName": "Kellogg", "email": "", "affiliation": "School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.", "address": "", "fax": "", "midInitials": "", "phone": "", "roles": [{"comments": [], "annotationValue": "Author", "termSource": {"comments": [], "name": "", "file": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ncit.owl", "version": "18.10e", "description": "NCI Thesaurus OBO Edition"}, "termAccession": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C42781"}]}, {"comments": [], "firstName": "Laura T", "lastName": "Carlson", "email": "", "affiliation": "School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.", "address": "", "fax": "", "midInitials": "", "phone": "", "roles": [{"comments": [], "annotationValue": "Author", "termSource": {"comments": [], "name": "", "file": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ncit.owl", "version": "18.10e", "description": "NCI Thesaurus OBO Edition"}, "termAccession": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C42781"}]}, {"comments": [], "firstName": "Regina M", "lastName": "Lionheart", "email": "", "affiliation": "School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.", "address": "", "fax": "", "midInitials": "", "phone": "", "roles": [{"comments": [], "annotationValue": "Author", "termSource": {"comments": [], "name": "", "file": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ncit.owl", "version": "18.10e", "description": "NCI Thesaurus OBO Edition"}, "termAccession": "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C42781"}]}, {"comments": [], "firstName": "Anitra E", "lastName": "Ingalls", "email": "", "affiliation": "School of Oceanography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.

We searched for spectra with matching parent m/z and a cosine similarity > 0.8 from an ESI spectrum, using the same algorithms as MassBank[1]. When a compound in the MassBank database matched m/z and MS2, we assigned a putative identification (confidence level 2). For some of these compounds, we later obtained standards and upgraded their identification to confidence level 1. For mass features without confidence levels 1 or 2 identification, we searched for possible matches to compounds in the KEGG database based only on m/z, these identifications are considered possible identification (confidence level 3). Our extraction analysis resulted in both a highly polar aqueous and a more non-polar organic fraction, which were analyzed separately. Although there are many more mass features in the organic fraction (see Table S8 in the paper associated with this study), most of the primary metabolites are extracted into the aqueous fraction[6], and we focused our untargeted analysis on this fraction to understand the primary metabolic response to cobalamin limitation. For many mass features, the aforementioned identification attempts were not fruitful, so we attempted to identify quality mass features that showed a univariate response to cobalamin limitation from our aqueous extraction, using a manual approach with the larger, but not publicly available, Metlin database[7]. We searched mass features by m/z (assuming M+H, M+NH4, or M+Na for positive ionization, M-H, M+Cl for negative ionization, at a 5 ppm tolerance) and compared MS2 when obtained by DDA and available in the database. We assigned putative identifications using the same confidence levels as discussed above. </p> Ref:</br> [1] Horai H et al.
