A Viral Immunity Chromosome in the Marine Picoeukaryote, Ostreococcus tauri
PLOS Pathogens, 2016 Micro-algae of the genus Ostreococcus and related species of the order Mamiellales are globally distributed in the photic zone of world's oceans where they contribute to fixation of atmospheric carbon and production of oxygen, besides providing a primary source of nutrition in the food web.

Epidemiological dynamics of viral infection in a marine picoeukaryote [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractOstreococcus tauri is a ubiquitous marine pico-eukaryote that is susceptible to lysis upon infection by its species specific Ostreococcus tauri viruses (OtVs). In natural populations of O. tauri, costs of resistance are usually invoked to explain the persistence or reappearance of susceptible individuals in resistant populations.

Scientia Marina, 2012 We examined the ability of scleractinian corals with different polyp sizes to remove picoeukaryotes by predation and the effect of coral exudates on picoeukaryote growth.

The physiological response of picophytoplankton to temperature and its model representation
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Picophytoplankton account for most of the marine (sub-)tropical phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity. The contribution to biomass among plankton functional types (PFTs) could shift with climate warming, in part as a result of different ...

Picoeukaryote diversity in coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2006 The extraordinary molecular phylogenetic diversity of picoeukaryotes and their contri- butions to marine processes have been highlighted recently. Herein, picoeukaryotic diversity in the coastal Pacific Ocean is characterized for the first time. Close to full length small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssu rRNA) gene amplicons were cloned and sequenced from ...

Vertical distribution of major photosynthetic picoeukaryotic groups in stratified marine waters
Environmental Microbiology, 2016 Summary Photosynthetic picoeukaryotes (PPEs) are fundamental contributors to oceanic primary production and form diverse communities dominated by prymnesiophytes, chlorophytes, pelagophytes and chrysophytes. Here, we studied the vertical distribution of these major groups in two offshore regions of the northern ...

Rapid shifts in picoeukaryote community structure in response to ocean acidification [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2011 Abstract Rapid shifts in picoeukaryote community structure were observed during a CO2 perturbation experiment in which we followed the development of phytoplankton blooms in nutrient-amended mesocosms under the present day or predicted future atmospheric pCO2 (750 μatm, seawater pH 7.8).
