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

Insights Into the Evolution of Picocyanobacteria and Phycoerythrin Genes (mpeBA and cpeBA) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Marine picocyanobacteria, Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, substantially contribute to marine primary production and have been the subject of extensive ecological and genomic studies.

Picocyanobacteria in the Chesapeake Bay: isolation, diversity, and adaptation [PDF]
Marine Life Science and TechnologyAbstract Tiny unicellular cyanobacteria or picocyanobacteria (0.5–3 µm) are important due to their ecological significance. Chesapeake Bay is a temperate estuary that contains abundant and diverse picocyanobacteria. Studies of Chesapeake Bay picocyanobacteria in the past 20 years led to the finding of new members of subcluster 5.2 ...

Microbial diversity of co-occurring heterotrophs in cultures of marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Environmental Microbiome, 2021 Background The cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are responsible for around 10% of global net primary productivity, serving as part of the foundation of marine food webs.

Ploidy levels in diverse picocyanobacteria from the Baltic Sea. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepIn nature, the number of genome or chromosome copies within cells (ploidy) can vary between species and environmental conditions, potentially influencing how organisms adapt to changing environments.

Phylogenetic diversity of non-marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2013 The most updated picture of the 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree of picocyanobacteria, including marine and freshwater strains, confirms the indication that Synechococcus 5.3 is not included in Synechococcus 5.1 but is its sister clade.

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

Mesozooplankton grazing on picocyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea as inferred from molecular diet analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Our current knowledge on the microbial component of zooplankton diet is limited, and it is generally assumed that bacteria-sized prey is not directly consumed by most mesozooplankton grazers in the marine food webs.

Genetic Diversity and Cooccurrence Patterns of Marine Cyanopodoviruses and Picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2018 Picocyanobacteria are highly diverse and abundant in the ocean and display remarkable global biogeography and a vertical distribution pattern. However, how the diversity and distribution of picocyanobacteria affect those of the viruses that infect them ...
