The last century of biology brought a revolution to our understanding of life at the molecular
level; the last decade, a widening re-evaluation of the claim that understanding gained in …

Prochlorococcus is a genus of very small marine picocyanobacteria characterized by an
unusual green pigmentation, because they lack the phycobilisomes characteristic of most …

Carbon fixation has a central role in determining cellular redox poise, increasingly
understood to be a key parameter in cyanobacterial physiology. In the cyanobacterium …

Prochlorococcus play a crucial role in the ocean's biogeochemical cycling, but it remains
controversial how they will respond to global warming. Here we assessed the response to …

Prochlorococcus is found throughout the euphotic zone in the oligotrophic open ocean.
Deep mixing and sinking while attached to particles can, however, transport …

The oceans account for approxi-mately half of global carbon fixation (1), but unlike
plantdominated terrestrial environments, marine photosynthesis is dominated by single …

Prochlorococcus contributes significantly to ocean primary productivity. The link between
primary productivity and iron in specific ocean regions is well established and iron limitation …

Prochlorococcus is a simple cyanobacterium that is abundant throughout large regions of
the oceans, and has become a useful model for studying the nature and regulation of …

Prochlorococcus is a genus of extremely successful marine cyanobacteria. This success is
realized through its pervasive biogeographical range and presence in almost all open …

Primary Abstract The euphotic zone of the surface ocean contains distinct physical-chemical
regimes that vary inversely in light and nutrient concentrations as a function of depth. The …
