Abstract
Marine animals that build shells, such as oysters, carefully regulate the chemistry of their internal calcifying fluids, but the molecular mechanisms behind this control, as well as whether microbes play a role in calcification, are poorly understood. To better understand oysters’ molecular mechanisms and the role of their calcifying-fluid microbes, we conducted experiments that simulated a tidal cycle, measured calcifying fluid pH and total dissolved inorganic carbon, and characterized host and microbial gene expression via transcriptomics. These experiments showed that calcifying fluid pH remained relatively stable throughout tidal pH fluctuations, with corresponding increases in oyster transcripts for ion transport and acid–base regulation. These data provide direct evidence that tidal fluctuations drive rapid changes in oyster calcifying fluid chemistry. Most surprisingly, increases in microbial transcripts related to nitrogen and sulfur cycling correlated to higher calcifying fluid DIC, and coexpression network analysis revealed patterns of gene expression that linked oyster immune and neural pathways to microbial redox processes, providing molecular evidence of potential host modulation of microbial metabolism. Together, these results reveal that oysters actively regulate their calcifying fluid pH over short timescales, and the endemic microbiome metabolic responses can yield metabolites that influence calcifying fluid pH, alkalinity, and ultimately calcification. These data offer a perspective on oyster physiological capacity and, most importantly, the potential role of microbes in oyster calcification. In light of ongoing changes in ocean pH and temperature, oysters provide a model for studying animal–microbial responses to environmental acidification and how their interactions may shape biomineralization.

Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 1 repository of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 9 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- 9 matches between paragraphs of the paper and lines of the code (method lexical-v1);
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
