Carbon allocation strategy of Thalassiosira weissflogii in response to elevated pCO2
, low pH) prompts T. weissflogii to prioritize the allocation of carbon resources to the synthesis of chitin. The synthesis of chitin may reinforce cell wall formation as an adaptive response to ocean acidification. Our research provides new insights into the marine acidification adaptation strategies of T. weissflogii.
