• Phytoplankton as Key Mediators of the Biological Carbon Pump: Their Responses to a Changing Climate (2018, background): “[61] assessed the present and future global abundances of the picoplanktonic cyanobacteria, Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, using projections of sea surface temperature at the end of the 21st century.”
• Phylogeny and taxonomy of Synechococcus-like cyanobacteria (2020, background): “…(Synechococcus marinus) and Prochlorococcus are very abundant small coccoid cyanobacteria, both in numbers of individual cells and amount of biomass in planktic communities (Partensky et al. 1999; Palenik et al. 2003; Six et al. 2007; Flombaum et al. 2013; Dvořák et al. 2014a, 2017).”
• Synechococcus in the Atlantic Gateway to the Arctic Ocean (2016, background): “…optimum ranging from 20 to 33◦C depending on the clade (Pittera et al., 2014), the highest annual average in situ cell abundances were found at temperatures around 10◦C in the Indian and western Pacific Oceans, with averages of 34,000 and 40,000 cells mL−1, respectively (Flombaum et al., 2013).”
• The biomass distribution on Earth (2018, background): “For cyanobacteria, a study based on independent data of cell concentrations (265) estimated the total number of cells of prochlorococcus and synechococcus, which are estimated at ≈3×10(27) and ≈7×10(26) cells, respectively.”
• Scaling laws predict global microbial diversity (2016, methodology): “Gray cross-hairs are ranges of published estimates of N and Nmax for large microbiomes, including Earth (6, 7, 31, 32) (Materials and Methods, Approximating Ranges of Nmax for Large Microbiomes).”
• Quantum superposition, entanglement, and state teleportation of a microorganism on an electromechanical oscillator (2015, background): “ASM Press [51] Flombaum P, Gallegos JL, Gordillo RA et al (2013) Present and future global distributions of the marine Cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus.”
• Linking pangenomes and metagenomes: the Prochlorococcus metapangenome (2018, background): “For instance, although Prochlorococcus populations are virtually absent from the Southern Ocean ( Flombaum et al., 2013 ), our genomes recruited up to 0.01% of the metagenomic reads from the Southern Ocean metagenomes matching to non-specific targets.”
