Prochlorococcus, a marine photosynthetic prokaryote of global significance.

Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR - 1 Mar 1999

Partensky F, Hess W R, Vaulot D

Abstract excerpt

The minute photosynthetic prokaryote Prochlorococcus, which was discovered about 10 years ago, has proven exceptional from several standpoints. Its tiny size (0.5 to 0.7 microm in diameter) makes it the smallest known photosynthetic organism. Its ubiquity within the 40 degrees S to 40 degrees N latitudinal band of oceans and its occurrence at high density from the surface down to depths of 200 m make it...
