To investigate the molecular basis of salt stress responses, we conducted a comprehensive multi-omic analysis integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and DNA affinity purification sequencing (DAP-seq). An improved nuclear genome assembly and annotation yielded 19,017 gene models and a 97% BUSCO completeness score, enabling construction of a genome-scale metabolic model. Comparing 15 ppt salinity stress to 5 ppt control, growth and productivity were significantly reduced, accompanied by widespread transcriptomic and proteomic changes. Transcriptomic analysis revealed downregulation of photosynthetic machinery and energy conservation genes, and upregulation of stress-responsive elements such as expansins, flavodoxins, and osmoprotectants. Lipidomic profiling showed accumulation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and degradation of galactosyl lipids, consistent with a shift toward lipid biosynthesis to mitigate redox imbalance. Depletion of key polar metabolites and branched-chain amino acids suggested a rerouting of central carbon metabolism under stress. DAP-seq identified key transcription factors, including LHY1 and SPL12, that target central metabolic enzymes involved in redox balancing, such as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH). These findings establish a regulatory-metabolic framework linking redox stress to lipid accumulation and reveal potential engineering targets to enhance salt tolerance. Overall, the multi-omic analysis supports the "overflow" hypothesis, where impaired photosynthesis results in excess reducing equivalents being diverted into TAG synthesis and highlights transcriptional regulators as candidates for improving algal robustness in brackish environments.
