Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for marine phytoplankton and indeed all life forms.
Current data show that P availability is growth‐limiting in certain marine systems and can …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus numerically
dominate the picophytoplankton of the world ocean, making a key contribution to global …

Nutrient supply regulates the activity of phytoplankton, but the global biogeography of
nutrient limitation and co-limitation is poorly understood. Prochlorococcus adapt to local …

The world's oceans contain a complex mixture of micro-organisms that are for the most part,
uncharacterized both genetically and biochemically. We report here a metagenomic study of …

Phosphorus is an obligate requirement for the growth of all organisms; major biochemical
reservoirs of phosphorus in marine plankton include nucleic acids and phospholipids …

Prochlorococcus is the numerically dominant phytoplankter in the oligotrophic oceans,
accounting for up to half of the photosynthetic biomass and production in some regions …

Phosphorus (P) is a required element for life. Its various chemical forms are found
throughout the lithosphere and hydrosphere, where they are acted on by numerous abiotic …

Metagenomics is expanding our knowledge of the gene content, functional significance, and
genetic variability in natural microbial communities. Still, there exists limited information …

The factors that control the growth and nitrogen fixation rates of marine diazotrophs such as
Trichodesmium have been intensively studied because of the role that these processes …

Marine picocyanobacteria, comprised of the genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus,
are the most abundant and widespread primary producers in the ocean. More than 20 …
