Prochlorococcus: the structure and function of collective diversity.

Nature reviews. Microbiology - 1 Jan 2015

Biller Steven J, Berube Paul M, Lindell Debbie, Chisholm Sallie W

Abstract excerpt

The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth. In this Review, we summarize our understanding of the diversity of this remarkable phototroph and describe its role in ocean ecosystems. We discuss the importance of interactions of Prochlorococcus with the physical environment, with phages and with heterotrophs in shaping the ecology and evolution of...
