Broad phylogenetic and functional diversity among mixotrophic consumers of Prochlorococcus
The ISME Journal, 2021 Small eukaryotic phytoplankton are major contributors to global primary production and marine biogeochemical cycles. Many taxa are thought to be mixotrophic, but quantitative studies of phagotrophy exist for very few.

Culturing the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, 2007 Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant primary producer in open ocean ecosystems. Analysis of Prochlorococcus genome sequences from cultured isolates and ocean samples has broadened interest in studying this tiny cell, and efforts are underway to develop it into a model system for studying marine microbial ecology.

Diel variations in Prochlorococcus optical properties [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2002 Prochlorococcus is an important component of phototrophic biomass in oligotrophic areas. In such systems, diel variations in optical properties have been reported. In order to better understand these natural variations, the optical (absorption, attenuation, and scattering) and biochemical (carbon and pigment) properties of an axenic clone of ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance The marine unicellular cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. Members of this genus are classically thought to be adapted to high-oxygen and nutrient-poor ocean conditions, with a principle ...

Production and cross-feeding of nitrite within Prochlorococcus populations
bioRxiv, 2022 Prochlorococcus is an abundant photosynthetic bacterium in the open ocean, where nitrogen (N) often limits phytoplankton growth. In the low-light-adapted LLI clade of Prochlorococcus, nearly all cells can assimilate nitrite (NO2−), with a subset capable ...

Parallel phylogeography of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2018 Abstract The globally abundant marine Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus share many physiological traits but presumably have different evolutionary histories and associated phylogeography. In Prochlorococcus, there is a clear phylogenetic hierarchy of ecotypes, whereas multiple Synechococcus clades have overlapping ...

Investigating zinc toxicity responses in marine Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus
Microbiology, 2021 Marine plastic pollution is a growing concern worldwide and has the potential to impact marine life via leaching of chemicals, with zinc (Zn), a common plastic additive, observed at particularly high levels in plastic leachates in previous studies.
