Picocyanobacteria success in oligotrophic lakes: fact or fiction?
Journal of Limnology, 2000 Two approaches may be utilized to explain the predominance of picocyanobacteria (Pcy) in oligotrophic lakes: the analysis of their interannual evolution in one single lake and their relative importance in different lakes along a trophic gradient. Here we

Light variability illuminates niche-partitioning among marine Picocyanobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus picocyanobacteria are dominant contributors to marine primary production over large areas of the ocean. Phytoplankton cells are entrained in the water column and are thus often exposed to rapid changes in irradiance ...

Novel isolates expand the physiological diversity of Prochlorococcus and illuminate its macroevolution [PDF]
mBioProchlorococcus is a diverse picocyanobacterial genus and the most abundant phototroph on Earth. Its photosynthetic diversity divides it into high-light (HL)- or low-light (LL)-adapted groups representing broad phylogenetic grades—each composed of ...

Picocyanobacteria distribution in the Ebro Estuary (Spain) [PDF]
Acta Botanica Croatica, 2005 The stratified estuary of the Ebro River is located on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. From samples obtained in 6 sampling campaigns between July 1999 and February 2000 from the last 18 km of Ebro River, the abundance of picocyanobacteria was estimated

Wide-ranging organic nitrogen diets of freshwater picocyanobacteria. [PDF]
ISME JAbstract Freshwater picocyanobacteria (Syn/Pro clade) contribute substantially to the primary production of inland waters, especially when nitrogen is limiting or co-limiting. Nevertheless, they remain poorly understood ecologically and genomically, with research on their nitrogen acquisition mainly focused on inorganic sources. However,

Phosphorus Acquisition Strategies Among Phytoplankton and Free-Living Bacterial Communities in the Baltic Proper. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepPhosphorus is a key element for cellular functions and poses significant challenges for planktonic microbial communities under limited availability. Metagenomics highlighted that heterotrophic bacteria predominantly relied on phosphate scavenging while eukaryotic phytoplankton primarily utilized membrane remodelling to cope with limited phosphorus ...
