Amino acid uptake of Prochlorococcus spp. in surface waters across the South Atlantic Subtropical Front (2005, background): “This confirms the previous record of Pro in comparable concentrations at 47.5° S in waters of similar temperature (11°C) by Zubkov et al. (2000).”
Viability and niche segregation of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus cells across the Central Atlantic Ocean (2004, background): “The maximum Prochlorococcus abundance is often located in deeper waters than that of Synechococcus, where Synechococcus abundance is strongly reduced (Li 1995, Zubkov et al. 2000, N. Agawin & S. Agustí unpubl.).”
Vertical distribution of phytoplankton biomass, production and growth in the Atlantic subtropical gyres (2006, unknown): “The low phytoplankton growth rates measured in our study, together with the low heterotrophic bacteria growth rates reported for the upper waters of the subtropical Atlantic gyres (e.g. 0.12 d (1); Zubkov et al., 2000), suggest the existence of a microbial community that turns over very slowly.”
Contribution of picoplankton to the total particulate organic carbon concentration in the eastern South Pacific (2007, background): “Across the North and South Atlantic Subtropical Gyres (Zubkov et al., 1998, 2000) and eastern South Pacific (Grob et al., 2007) picophytoeukaryotes also constituted a considerable fraction of the picophytoplanktonic carbon biomass.”
