Light-dependent and predator inducible aldehyde synthesis in Prochlorococcus for specific defense against Uronema
Cyanobacteria as a primary producer provide energy and carbon sources for the marine food web, of which predation-interactions play central roles in regulating global element cycles and marine ecosystem stability. Here, we report the anti-predation activity of a typical marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus MED4 to defend the predation by Uronema marinum. MED4 synthesize formaldehyde as the anti-predation chemical, of which the synthesis was light-dependent and predator-inducible.
