Abstract

The expression of genes of biogeochemical interest in calcifying and noncalcifying life stages of the cocco- lithophore Emiliania huxleyi was investigated. Transcripts potentially involved in calcification were tested through a light-dark cycle. These transcripts were more abundant in calcifying cells and were upregulated in the light. Their application as potential candidates for in situ biogeochemical proxies is also suggested.
