Picocyanobacteria (Pcy) single-cells and microcolonies are common in lakes throughout the
world, and abundant across a wide spectrum of trophic conditions. The single-celled Pcy …

Abstract Background Marine Synechococcus owe their specific vivid color (ranging from
blue-green to orange) to their large extrinsic antenna complexes called phycobilisomes …

Abstract Background The picocyanobacterial genus Synechococcus occurs over wide
oceanic expanses, having colonized most available niches in the photic zone. Large scale …

Picocyanobacteria are extremely important organisms in the world's oceans and freshwater
ecosystems. They play an essential role in primary production and their domination in …

Stretching and bending vibrations of water molecules absorb photons of specific
wavelengths, a phenomenon that constrains light energy available for aquatic …

Marine Synechococcus cyanobacteria are major contributors to global oceanic primary
production and exhibit a unique diversity of photosynthetic pigments, allowing them to …

Conserved markers such as the 16S rRNA gene do not provide sufficient molecular
resolution to identify spatially structured populations of marine Synechococcus, or 'ecotypes' …

Although phenotypic plasticity can be advantageous in fluctuating environments, it may
come too late if the environment changes fast. Complementary chromatic adaptation is a …

We explored the role of natural and anthropogenic environmental perturbations in sha**
the community structure and dynamics of pico-and nanophytoplankton in coastal waters …

Marine Synechococcus comprise a numerically and ecologically prominent phytoplankton
group, playing a major role in both carbon cycling and trophic networks in all oceanic …
