Figure 1: Host ranges of 44 clonal cyanophages exposed to marine Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus cultured isolates. Figure 2: Cyanophage titres, measured using Prochlorococcus host strains, as a ...

An ocean-dwelling organism called Prochlorococcus plays an important role in photosynthesis. Oceanographer Penny Chisholm explains. Video by Rebecca Jacobson. Additional video courtesy Eric Grabowski, ...

It had been a long day of PowerPoint presentations and charts and graphs. A ­couple of hours earlier, Nathan Ahlgren ‘99 had been downstairs wrapping up his talk, jazzily titled “Changes in ...

Among the tiniest living things in the ocean are a group of single-celled microbes called Prochlorococcus. They are cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, and they supply nutrients for animals ...

One of the world's most common microbes isn’t immune to the effect of climate change. Prochlorococcus produces vast amounts of oxygen, but rising ocean temperatures are predicted to cause sharp ...

Where the microbe Prochlorococcus lives is not determined primarily by temperature, as previously thought. A study finds a relationship with a shared predator actually sets the microbe's range. The ...

SEATTLE -- For decades, scientists believed Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant phytoplankton on Earth, would thrive in a warmer world. But new research suggests the microscopic bacterium, ...

We compared the characteristics of ingestion of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus by the marine heterotrophic nanoflagellate Pseudobodo sp. and by a mixed nanoflagellate culture (around 3 μm in size) ...

Prochlorococcus are the smallest and most abundant photosynthesizing organisms on the planet. A single Prochlorococcus cell is dwarfed by a human red blood cell, yet globally the microbes number in ...
