• Feeding by red-tide dinoflagellates on the cyanobacterium Synechococcus (2005, background): “Many studies on the feeding by heterotrophic protists on Synechococcus have suggested that heterotrophic nanoflagellates and ciliates are usually major grazers on Synechococcus (Bettarel et al. 2002, Jochem 2003, Worden & Binder 2003, Agawin et al. 2004).”
• Phytoplankton taxon-specific orthophosphate (Pi) and ATP utilization in the western subtropical North Atlantic (2009, background): “Growth rates derived from P-utilization rates for Synechococcus were within the range of in situ growth rates (0.7 to 2.1 d–1; Furnas & Crosbie 1999), but higher than dilution experiment growth rates (0.37 to 0.67 d–1; Worden & Binder 2003).”
• Prochlorococcus contributes to new production in the Sargasso Sea deep chlorophyll maximum (2007, background): “3 of 5 [10] Despite the tight coupling between physiological growth rates and grazing losses [Agawin and Agusti, 2005; Worden and Binder, 2003], the Prochlorococcus DCM population in the Sargasso Sea displays a roughly five-fold seasonal increase (Figure 1c) during a time when convective nutrient…”
• Close coupling between phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing in the western South China Sea (2009, background): “With regard to possible experimental issues of our growth rate estimates, Worden and Binder (2003) reported several cases in which the addition of ammonia and phosphate had negative effects on growth rates of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus.”
