Microcystis is a cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in freshwater ecosystems around
the world. Biological variation among taxa within the genus is apparent through genetic and …

Eukaryotic phytoplankton exhibit an enormous species richness, displaying a range of
phylogenetic, morphological and physiological diversity. Yet, until recently, very little was …

Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two most abundant and widespread
phytoplankton in the global ocean. To better understand the factors controlling their …

Continental margins are disproportionally important for global primary production, fisheries
and CO2 uptake. However, across the Northeast Atlantic shelves, there has been an …

The photosynthetic picocyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are models for
dissecting how ecological niches are defined by environmental conditions, but how …

Marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria are major contributors to global oceanic primary
production and exhibit a unique diversity of photosynthetic pigments, allowing them to …

Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited
in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of …

Cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus are major contributors to global primary
productivity and are found in a wide range of aquatic ecosystems. This Synechococcus …

Marine picocyanobacteria of the genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the most
abundant photosynthetic organisms on Earth, an ecological success thought to be linked to …

Nitrogen (N) is a limiting nutrient in vast regions of the world's oceans, yet the sources of N
available to various phytoplankton groups remain poorly understood. In this study, we …
