Quantification of Marine Picocyanobacteria on Water Column Particles and in Sediments Using Real-Time PCR Reveals Their Role in Carbon Export [PDF]
mSphere, 2022 Picocyanobacteria are the most abundant primary producers in the ocean and play a fundamental role in marine carbon cycling. Quantification of picocyanobacteria on sinking particles and in sediments is essential to understanding their contribution to the

Allelopathic and Bloom-Forming Picocyanobacteria in a Changing World [PDF]
Toxins, 2018 Picocyanobacteria are extremely important organisms in the world’s oceans and freshwater ecosystems. They play an essential role in primary production and their domination in phytoplankton biomass is common in both oligotrophic and eutrophic waters ...

Picocyanobacteria and deep-ocean fluorescent dissolved organic matter share similar optical properties [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 The sources of marine chromophoric dissolved organic matter and associated fluorescent DOM (FDOM) remain unclear. Here, the authors demonstrate that picocyanobacteria release FDOM similar to typical fluorescent signals found in the ocean, and are likely ...

The evaluation of biogenic silica in brackish and freshwater strains reveals links between phylogeny and silica accumulation in picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyThrough biosilicification, organisms incorporate dissolved silica (dSi) and deposit it as biogenic silica (bSi), driving the silicon (Si) cycle in aquatic systems.

The “Dark Side” of Picocyanobacteria: Life as We Do Not Know It (Yet)
Microorganisms, 2022 Picocyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus (together with Cyanobium and Prochlorococcus) have captured the attention of microbial ecologists since their description in the 1970s.

Picophytoplankton prevail year‐round in the Elbe estuary [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsPicophytoplankton are important primary producers, but not always adequately recognized, for example, due to methodological limitations. In this study, we combined flow cytometry and metabarcoding to investigate seasonal and spatial patterns of ...
