Sponge exhalent metabolites influence coral reef picoplankton dynamics [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but ...

Seasonal dynamics and nutrient controls of biogenic silica in Baltic Sea surface microplankton and picoplankton communities [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
In recent years, new contributors to the marine silica cycle have emerged, including pico-sized phytoplankton (3 µm) in the dissolved silica-replete Baltic Sea via biweekly time series samplings spanning 2 years.

Factors influencing the pigment composition and dynamics of photoautotrophic picoplankton in shallow eutrophic lakes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2022
Photoautotrophic picoplankton (0.2-2 μm) can be a major contributor to primary production and play a significant part in the ecosystem carbon flow.

Distributions and relationships of virio- and picoplankton in the epi-, meso- and bathypelagic zones of the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica during the austral summer [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Virioplankton and picoplankton are the most abundant marine biological entities on earth and mediate biogeochemical cycles in the Southern Ocean. However, understanding of their distribution and relationships with environmental factors is lacking.

Biogeography of Virioplankton Abundance and Subcluster Patterns in the Northwest Pacific: A Large‐Scale Perspective [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen
Marine virioplankton, the most abundant biological entities in the ocean, play essential roles in microbial ecology and biogeochemical cycling. This study investigates their biogeography in the Northwest Pacific using enhanced‐resolution flow cytometry ...

Picoplankton Diel Variability and Estimated Growth Rates in Epipelagic and Mesopelagic Waters of the Central Red Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The diel variability of the abundance and cell size of picoplanktonic groups in the central Red Sea was monitored every 2 h in situ on 4 occasions (once per season) from 2015 to 2016.

Picocyanobacteria in Estuaries of Three Siberian Rivers and Adjacent Shelves of Russian Arctic Seas: Genetic Diversity and Distribution

Diversity, 2023
Single-cell cyanobacteria, being an integral part of picoplankton in marine ecosystems, have been suggested to be important contributors to primary production and carbon cycles in the global ocean.

Factors controlling the community structure of picoplankton in contrasting marine environments [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2018
The effect of inorganic nutrients on planktonic assemblages has traditionally relied on concentrations rather than estimates of nutrient supply. We combined a novel dataset of hydrographic properties, turbulent mixing, nutrient concentration, and ...

Short-Term Spatiotemporal Variability in Picoplankton Induced by a Submesoscale Front South of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The distribution and variability of phytoplankton in the upper layers of the ocean are highly correlated with physical processes at different time and spatial scales. Model simulations have shown that submesoscale features play a pivotal role on plankton
