摘要： Resting cyst formation is a remarkable survival strategy used by ciliates in response to the adverse environmental conditions. However, the mechanisms underlying encystment are poorly understood. Here, the genetic basis of encystment in Colpoda aspera was examined through RNA sequencing to identify transcriptome-wide changes in gene expression between vegetative and encystment stages. After de novo assembly, 49,543 transcripts were identified. Gene annotation and pathway mapping analysis revealed marked changes in biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and autophagy pathways during cyst formation. In addition, some differentially regulated genes were predicted to function in the interconnected cAMP, AMPK, mTOR, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, potentially forming a regulatory network for encystment. The present study conducted a large-scale assessment of Colpoda aspera genomic resources and provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying cyst formation.
