Characterization of Phycoerythrin Physiology in Low-Light Adapted Prochlorococcus Ecotypes [PDF]

, 2013
The marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the most abundant phototrophs in the oceans. They cohabit the oligotrophic ocean and thus have coevolved together, yet they have distinctly different methods for harvesting light ...

Survival of Prochlorococcus in extended darkness

, 2016
Prochlorococcus is the smallest oxygenic phototroph in the ocean, where it can be found in great abundance throughout the euphotic zone in mid-latitude waters.

Iron and Cobalt Limitation in Atlantic Prochlorococcus MIT9301 [PDF]

Prochlorococcus is an abundant marine microorganism playing a vital role in the Earth’s carbon cycle and therefore climate. This organism is a cyanobacteria meaning it obtains energy through photosynthesis.

The photosynthetic strategies of the wild Prochlorococcus marinus [PDF]

, 2020
Prochlorococcus marinus, the most abundant photosynthetic organism on the planet, can be found stratified throughout the marine water column from the surface waters to the bottom of the euphotic zone.

Quantification of Aggregate Formation in Prochlorococcus

, 2022
Prochlorococcus, a unicellular cyanobacterium, is the smallest and the numerically dominant phytoplankton found in the oligotrophic ocean. Despite being one of the most important primary producers in the ocean, there are many questions regarding its ...

Extreme plasticity in the photosystem composition of a low‐light Prochlorococcus ecotype in response to iron and light

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Light affects the cellular iron (Fe) requirement of phytoplankton because of its presence in major photosynthetic proteins. Thus, interactions between variable Fe concentrations and light intensities could restrict photosynthetic carbon fixation in the ...

Temperature-driven nitrogen mixotrophy shapes marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus latitudinal distribution pattern

Communications Earth & Environment
Temperature, photosynthetically active radiation, and nutrient availability are pivotal in determining the global distribution of marine cyanobacteria. This study demonstrates that the distinct latitudinal niches of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus are ...

Synechococcus dominates the sedimentary record of exported picocyanobacteria in the ocean

Communications Earth & Environment
Picocyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the most abundant primary producers in the global ocean, yet their contribution to carbon export has long been overlooked.

Evolution Of Growth Rates And Interspecies Interactions Of Prochlorococcus And Alteromonas Under Ocean Acidification Conditions

, 2020
Prochlorococcus is an unusually small and numerous genus of marine cyanobacteria which is thought to contribute 8.5% of marine primary production. Prochlorococcus lacks a gene for catalase, resulting in significant sensitivity to stress from reactive ...

Genomes of Prochlorococcus, Synechococcus, bacteria, and viruses recovered from marine picocyanobacteria cultures based on Illumina and Qitan nanopore sequencing

Scientific Data
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are key contributors to marine primary production and play essential roles in global biogeochemical cycles. Despite the ecological importance of these two picocyanobacterial genera, current genomic datasets still lack ...
