The diversity of small eukaryotic phytoplankton (≤ 3 μm) in marine ecosystems
Small cells dominate photosynthetic biomass and primary production in many marine
ecosystems. Traditionally, picoplankton refers to cells≤ 2 μm. Here we extend the size …

Genome analysis of the smallest free-living eukaryote Ostreococcus tauri unveils many unique features
E Derelle, C Ferraz, S Rombauts… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
The green lineage is reportedly 1,500 million years old, evolving shortly after the
endosymbiosis event that gave rise to early photosynthetic eukaryotes. In this study, we …

Marine bacterial, archaeal and protistan association networks reveal ecological linkages
Microbes have central roles in ocean food webs and global biogeochemical processes, yet
specific ecological relationships among these taxa are largely unknown. This is in part due …
