Photophysiology of the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH8102, a new model organism (2004, result): “All strains showed a small but significant decrease in this ratio with increasing irradiance, with the high PUB strains WH8102 and WH8103 displaying the lowest relative change with irradiance (Fig.”
Physiological responses of three species of marine pico-phytoplankton to ammonium, phosphate, iron and light limitation (2005, background): “(Waterbury et al., 1979, 1986; Olson et al., 1990; Li, 1998; Bertilsson et al., 2003; Heldal et al., 2003) belong to the most thoroughly investigated algal species of the pico-phytoplankton community.”
EFFECTS OF INCREASED TEMPERATURE AND CO2 ON PHOTOSYNTHESIS, GROWTH, AND ELEMENTAL RATIOS IN MARINE SYNECHOCOCCUS AND PROCHLOROCOCCUS (CYANOBACTERIA) 1 (2007, background): “These Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus 486 FEI-XUE FU ET AL. strains were isolated from the Sargasso and Mediterranean seas, respectively (Cuhel and Waterbury 1984, Bertilsson et al. 2003).”
Production of cobalt binding ligands in a Synechococcus feature at the Costa Rica upwelling dome (2005, background): “4–213 mmol cell21 C) determined in laboratory studies with marine Synechococcus strains WH8012 (nonmotile) and WH8103 (motile) (Bertilsson et al. 2003).”
Picophytoplankton : Bottom-up and top-down controls on ecology and evolution (2005, unknown): “While viruses are much smaller than eukaryotic parasitoids, viral reproduction requires significant quantities of P and the cell quota of P is very low in P-starved Prochlorococcus cells (Bertilsson et al. 2003).”
Dynamics of community structure and phosphate status of picocyanobacterial populations in the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea (2005, background): “Certainly, Synechococcus have higher cell P quotas compared with Prochlorococcus (Bertilsson et al. 2003; Heldal et al. 2003); therefore, their proliferation might be restricted under low P concentrations.”
Optimal nitrogen-to-phosphorus stoichiometry of phytoplankton (2004, background): “Although this data set does not include the structural N:P ratios of the abundant marine picoplankton, Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus , recent studie”
CO2 concentrating mechanisms in algae: mechanisms, environmental modulation, and evolution. (2005, background): “Because the N cell quota (26, 66) is probably highly regulated in the Prochlorochoccus strains exclusively using NH4+ and organic N (213), there is less need for a modulation in DIC acquisition to maintain a (near) optimal C/N ratio.”
Co2 and phosphate availability control the toxicity of the harmful bloom dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum. (2010, background): “We considered this preferable to normalization on a per cell basis, since the cell size of some algae can be affected by CO2 levels (Burns et al. 2005, Levitan et al. 2007) and nutrient availability (Bertilsson et al. 2003).”
P-limited bacteria but N and P co-limited phytoplankton in the Eastern Mediterranean—a microcosm experiment (2005, background): “Furthermore, cyanobacteria have a high demand for N. Bertilsson et al. (2003) reported N : P ranging between 21 and 33 for P-replete isolates of Synechococcus, and much higher ratios, 59–109, for P-deplete cultures.”
Viruses as mortality agents of picophytoplankton in the deep chlorophyll maximum layer during IRONAGES III (2007, background): “averaged cellular carbon content of 46 fg C cell21 for Prochlorococcus (Bertlisson et al. 2003).”
