Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Phytoplankton, such as the coccolitophore Gephyrocapsa huxleyi (G. huxleyi), has a major ecological impact through photosynthesis-the production of oxygen and organic material. A significant threat to G. huxleyi populations is viral infection with the specific Gephyrocapsa huxleyi virus (GhV). Previous research has provided important insight into the infection cycle of G. huxleyi. However, research including quantitative morphological information on infected cells is lacking, potentially masking heterogeneity in the infection cycle. In this study, we propose a machine learning (ML) pipeline to incorporate morphological profiling into the analysis of spatially resolved single-molecule mRNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH)-imaging flow cytometry (IFC) data acquired on infected G. huxleyi populations. First, we propose to simplify infection monitoring by using a classification model that does not rely on mRNA staining. Second, we propose an exploratory data analysis pipeline to disentangle two modes of cell death in infected cultures and a subpopulation of healthy cells that potentially will not die from infection, but from programmed cell death (PCD). Overall, we show that morphological profiling of smFISH-IFC data is highly suited for studying microbial interactions in phytoplankton populations. |
