The increasing prevalence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) driven by eutrophication, particularly in China's nearshore waters, is a growing concern. Dinoflagellate Heterocapsa bohaiensis have caused significant ecological and economic damage, as well mass mortality, cultivated species. Nutrients are one the primary inducers H. blooms. However, transcriptomic studies remain sparse, its metabolic pathways unknown. This study analyzed transcriptome under varying nutrient conditions (nitrogen at 128, 512, 880 μM; phosphate 8, 6, 32 μM), focusing on differential gene expression. results indicated that deviations (higher or lower N:P ratios) led to higher number differentially expressed genes compared control (N:P ratios = 27.5), thereby underscoring their pivotal role growth. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses showed limitation upregulated biosynthesis catabolism processes while downregulating cell cycle division functions. Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that, nitrogen limitation, proteasome were upregulated, photosynthesis carbon fixation downregulated; phosphorus metabolism was downregulated. These findings suggest adapts stress adjusting processes.
