Unicellular cyanobacteria are ubiquitous photoautotrophic microbes that contribute substantially to global primary production. Picocyanobacteria such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus depend on chlorophyll a-binding protein complexes to capture light ...

Diving deep into the origins of refractory dissolved amino acids in the ocean
Abstract Amino acids are key constituents of marine peptides and proteins and are generally considered biologically labile or semi‐labile, yet their widespread occurrence throughout the ocean suggests bioresistance over extended timescales. To investigate this paradox, we conducted two parallel shipboard incubation experiments to track microbial ...

Urea provides an important nitrogen source for microbial populations in an ultraoligotrophic sea
Urea is an organic nitrogen (N) compound directly utilized by both heterotrophic prokaryotes and some photoautotrophs. Reports of either ambient urea concentrations or urea uptake rates from the ultraoligotrophic eastern Mediterranean Sea are lacking. We investigated urea distribution and uptake in the upper water column in the Levantine basin during ...

Prochlorococcus is a marine cyanobacterium of global significance. Two ecotypes are adapted to either high-light (HL) or low-light (LL) conditions. The ratio between chlorophyll (Chl) a and b is a distinguishing characteristic of these two ecotypes ...

Evolution in one of the world’s most abundant organisms, Prochlorococcus [PDF]
Prochlorococcus is one of the most abundant organisms on the planet, and this abundance has the potential to give it unique evolutionary properties. Very large idealized populations experience very little drift.
