Structure and function of the global ocean microbiome (2015, background): “shown a strong impact of light and temperature (41).”
Phytoplankton growth and the interaction of light and temperature: A synthesis at the species and community level (2016, background): “For both irradiance and temperature responses, differences between genotypes or species measured in the lab have been correlated with differences in distributions across depths, seasons, or latitudes (Rodr ıguez et al. 2005; Johnson et al. 2006; Thomas et al. 2012, 2016; Edwards et al. 2013a,b).”
Latitudinal phytoplankton distribution and the neutral theory of biodiversity (2013, background): “…the morphologically described species include cryptic species (e.g. Kooistra et al., 2008) or ecotypes with adaptations at the molecular level (e.g. Johnson et al., 2006), and to what extent the consideration of those would improve the percentage of the variance explained by the environment, is an…”
Molecular and morphological methods for identifying plankton: what makes a successful marriage? (2009, background): “…Prochlorococcus, differing by ,3% in the ribosomal genes, have been shown to have distinct temperature and light preferences and to be distributed along environmental gradients that are consistent with niche differentiation (Moore et al., 1998; Rocap et al., 2003; Johnson et al., 2006).”
Linking pangenomes and metagenomes: the Prochlorococcus metapangenome (2018, result): “…results were also in line with previous observations suggesting temperature as one of the main drivers of distribution patterns of HL-I and HL-II ( Johnson et al., 2006 ; Biller et al., 2014b and references therein), as 93% and 95% of the reads recruited by the HL-I and HL-II genomes originated…”
The ecological coherence of high bacterial taxonomic ranks (2010, background): “In bacteria, ecological traits can be strain specific, and closely related bacteria can occupy distinct niche”
Species concepts and speciation factors in cyanobacteria, with connection to the problems of diversity and classification (2015, background): “Similar considerations may be obtained from the investigations on the marine planktic genera Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus (Johnson et al. 2006) or ﬁne-scale distribution of marine Vibrionaceae (Preheim et al. 2011).”
Single-Cell Genomics Reveals Hundreds of Coexisting Subpopulations in Wild Prochlorococcus (2014, background): “These ecotypes are physiologically distinct (2-4), display distinctive seasonal, depth, and geographic patterns (3),”
Microbial community gene expression in ocean surface waters (2008, background): “This result (data not shown) is consistent with depth-specific ecotype abundance data based on qPCR analysis of the rRNA internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region (13).”
Temperatures beyond the community optimum promote the dominance of heat-adapted, fast growing and stress resistant bacteria in alpine soils (2020, background): “Transferring temperature relationships of isolates to environmental microorganisms can however be misleading, as the temperature range and optimum can vary significantly within the same species (Mongold et al., 1999; Coenye et al., 2001; Johnson et al., 2006).”
Prochlorococcus contributes to new production in the Sargasso Sea deep chlorophyll maximum (2007, background): “This work has included assessments of its distribution, abundance, in-situ growth rates and primary production [e.g., Agusti, 2004; Johnson et al., 2006]; experimental investigations of the influence of temperature, light, nutrients and trace metals on the its growth and physiology in culture and…”
Bio-optical provinces in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and their biogeographical relevance (2011, background): “Johnson et al. (2006) showed that temperature is significantly correlated with shifts inProchlorococcusecotype abundance, thus linking our main biological with the major environmental predictor.”
Influence of light and temperature on Prochlorococcus ecotype distributions in the Atlantic Ocean (2007, methodology): “Light (eMED4), ammonium (eMIT9313), and nitrate (eMIT9313) correlat- ed with abundance, whereas phosphate (eMED4 and eNATL2A) and nitrate (eMED4) anticorrelated with abundance (Johnson et al. 2006).”
