Ecophysiological Aspects and <i>sxt</i> Genes Expression Underlying Induced Chemical Defense in STX-Producing <i>Raphidiopsis raciborskii</i> (Cyanobacteria) against the Zooplankter <i>Daphnia gessneri</i>

Cyanobacteria stand out among phytoplankton when they form massive blooms and produce toxins. Because cyanotoxin genes date to the origin of metazoans, the hypothesis that cyanotoxins function as a defense against herbivory is still debated. Although their primary cellular function might vary, these...
