TL;DR: Findings indicate that iron limitation can control rates of phytoplankton productivity and biomass in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single species, Micromonas pusilla (Prasinophyceae), dominates the eukaryotic picoplankton in the Western English Channel.
TL;DR: Eight new 18S ribosomal DNA oligonucleotide probes specific for different Prasinophyceae clades, genera, and species are designed and tested and applied to samples from a marine coastal site off Roscoff between July 2000 and September 2001.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marie L. Cuvelier,Andrew E. Allen,Adam Monier,John P. McCrow,Monique Messié,Susannah G. Tringe,Tanja Woyke,Rory M. Welsh,Thomas Ishoey,Jae-Hyeok Lee,Brian J. Binder,Christopher L.

TL;DR: Targeted metagenomics analysis of uncultured pico-prymnesiophytes sorted by flow cytometry from subtropical North Atlantic waters reveals a composite nuclear-encoded gene repertoire with strong green-lineage affiliations, which contrasts with the evolutionary history indicated by the plastid genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analysis of the proteorhodopsin-containing marine bacterium Polaribacter sp. MED152 (Flavobacteria)

González,Beatriz Fernández-Gómez,Antoni Fernández-Guerra,Laura Gómez-Consarnau,Olga Sánchez,Montserrat Coll-Lladó,Javier del Campo,Lorena Escudero,Raquel Rodríguez-Martínez,Laura Alonso-Sáez,Mikel Latasa,Ian T.

TL;DR: The genome of Polaribacter sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological response to iron fertilization in the eastern equatorial Pacific (IronEx II). III. Dynamics of phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing
TL;DR: Mesoscale iron-enrichment of high-nutrient, low chlorophyll waters in the eastern equatorial Pacific clearly demonstrated that phytoplankton growth rates and standing stocks were iron-limited, but the food web also demonstrated a remarkable resiliency to environmental perturbation by establishing a new balance.
