Journal ArticleDOI
Niche partitioning among Prochlorococcus ecotypes along ocean-scale environmental gradients.
Zackary I. Johnson,Erik R. Zinser,Allison Coe,Nathan P. McNulty,E. Malcolm S. Woodward,Sallie W. Chisholm +5 more
TL;DR: Temperature was significantly correlated with shifts in ecotype abundance, and laboratory experiments confirmed different temperature optima and tolerance ranges for cultured strains, which appeared to play a role in shaping different distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community gene expression in ocean surface waters
Jorge Frias-Lopez,Yanmei Shi,Gene W. Tyson,Maureen L. Coleman,Stephan C. Schuster,Sallie W. Chisholm,Edward F. DeLong +6 more
TL;DR: Global analysis of expressed genes in a naturally occurring microbial community revealed not only indigenous gene- and taxon-specific expression patterns but also gene categories undetected in previous DNA-based metagenomic surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergent Biogeography of Microbial Communities in a Model Ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, a marine ecosystem model seeded with many phytoplankton types, whose physiological traits were randomly assigned from ranges defined by field and laboratory data, generated an emergent community structure and biogeography consistent with observed global PHYTOPLankton distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiology and molecular phylogeny of coexisting Prochlorococcus ecotypes
TL;DR: Direct evidence supporting the coexistence and distribution of multiple ecotypes permits the survival of the population as a whole over a broader range of environmental conditions than would be possible for a homogeneous population is reported.
