Picoplanktonic community structure on an Atlantic transect from 50°N to 50°S

TL;DR: There was a clear contrast in the composition of the picoplankton community in both the North and South Atlantic between mesotrophic waters where Synechococcus and picoeukaryotes dominated the biomass, and oligotrophic Waters where the smaller total biomass was dominated by Prochlorococcus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Picoplankton community structure on the Atlantic Meridional Transect: a comparison between seasons

TL;DR: There was a pronounced southward shift of the main populations of both Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus in April–May in comparison to those of September–October, associated with seasonal changes in solar radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of temperature and nutrient regimes on biomass and lipid production by six oleaginous microalgae in batch culture employing a two-phase cultivation strategy.

TL;DR: In response to nutrient stress, N. oculata emerged as the most robust species with an increase in lipid accumulation of up to three to four-fold compared to the accumulation under nutrient sufficient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The seasonal cycle of phytoplankton, macronutrients, and the microbial community in a nearshore Antarctic marine ecosystem

TL;DR: In this paper, a 15-month period was studied at a shallow-water station at Signy Island in the maritime Antarctic, where the duration of winter sea-ice, summer seawater temperature, and peak chlorophyll biomass all exhibited strong interannual variability.
