Delineating ecologically significant taxonomic units from global patterns of marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two most abundant and widespread phytoplankton in the global ocean. To better understand the factors controlling their biogeography, a reference database of the high-resolution taxonomic marker petB, encoding ...

Adaptive thermostability of light-harvesting complexes in marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Abstract Marine Synechococcus play a key role in global oceanic primary productivity. Their wide latitudinal distribution has been attributed to the occurrence of lineages adapted to distinct thermal niches, but the physiological and molecular bases of this ecotypic differentiation remain largely unknown.

Allelopathic activity of the Baltic picocyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.
Allelopathic compounds produced by picocyanobacteria could affect the growth and development of biological systems. The main aim of this study was to investigate the influence of unknown allelochemicals obtained from picocyanobacterium Synechocystis sp ...

Relative stability of ploidy in a marine Synechococcus across various growth conditions [PDF]
Marine picocyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus are ubiquitous phototrophs in oceanic systems. Consistent with these organisms occupying vast tracts of the nutrient impoverished ocean, most marine Synechococcus so far studied are monoploid, i.e ...

Uptake of Hg2+ by picocyanobacteria in natural water from four Andean lakes
In lake food webs, planktonic bacteria and algae represent the greatest bioconcentration step for Hg2+ and monomethyl-Hg (MeHg). As they are the most abundant organisms in planktonic trophic webs and also the main food resource for herbivorous plankton ...

PtrA is required for coordinate regulation of gene expression during phosphate stress in a marine Synechococcus [PDF]
Previous microarray analyses have shown a key role for the two-component system PhoBR (SYNW0947, SYNW0948) in the regulation of P transport and metabolism in the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH8102. However, there is some evidence that another

Genome analysis of the freshwater planktonic Vulcanococcus limneticus sp. nov. reveals horizontal transfer of nitrogenase operon and alternative pathways of nitrogen utilization [PDF]
Background: Many cyanobacteria are capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, playing a crucial role in biogeochemical cycling. Little is known about freshwater unicellular cyanobacteria Synechococcus spp.

Virioplankton as an important component of plankton in the Volga Reservoirs
The distribution of virioplankton, abundance and production, frequency of visibly infected cells of heterotrophic bacteria and autotrophic picocyanobacteria and their virus-induced mortality have been studied in mesotrophic and eutrophic reservoirs of ...
