Journal ArticleDOI
Combination of 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes with flow cytometry for analyzing mixed microbial populations.
TL;DR: Fluorescent oligonucleotide hybridization probes were used to label bacterial cells for analysis by flow cytometry and the intensity of fluorescence was increased additively by the combined use of two or three fluorescent probes complementary to different regions of the same 16S rRNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the iron hypothesis in ecosystems of the equatorial Pacific Ocean
John H. Martin,Kenneth H. Coale,Kenneth S. Johnson,Kenneth S. Johnson,Steve E. Fitzwater,R. M. Gordon,S. J. Tanner,Craig N. Hunter,Virginia A. Elrod,Jocelyn L. Nowicki,Teresa L. Coley,Richard T.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that iron limitation can control rates of phytoplankton productivity and biomass in the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community Genomics Among Stratified Microbial Assemblages in the Ocean's Interior

TL;DR: Genomic analyses of planktonic microbial communities in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, from the ocean's surface to near–sea floor depths, suggested depth-variable community trends in carbon and energy metabolism, attachment and motility, gene mobility, and host-viral interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome divergence in two Prochlorococcus ecotypes reflects oceanic niche differentiation

TL;DR: The genomes of two Prochlorococcus strains that span the largest evolutionary distance within the Pro chlorococcus lineage are compared and reveal dynamic genomes that are constantly changing in response to myriad selection pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel free-living prochlorophyte abundant in the oceanic euphotic zone
Sallie W. Chisholm,Robert J. Olson,Erik R. Zettler,Ralf Goericke,John B. Waterbury,Nicholas A. Welschmeyer +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new group of photosynthetic picoplankters was identified, which are extremely abundant, and barely visible using traditional microscopic techniques, reaching concentrations greater than 105 cells ml−1 in the deep euphotic zone.
