Contribution of picoplankton to the total particulate organic carbon concentration in the eastern South Pacific (2007, background): “Although little is known on picophytoeukaryotes metabolism, several cyanobacteria ecotypes have been shown to grow on urea and ammonium (Moore et al., 2002).”
Ecotypic variation in phosphorus-acquisition mechanisms within marine picocyanobacteria (2005, methodology): “Two cells were sorted per tube of sterile, standard Sargasso Sea water-based media (Moore et al. 2002) from a sort region positioned at the center of the flow cytometric signature specific for the culture used.”
Influence of hydrographic conditions on picoplankton distribution in the East China Sea (2002, background): “Furthermore, recent work has revealed that only the low-light ecotype Prochlorococcus strain can take up nitrite and that none of the Prochlorococcus strains in culture can utilize nitrate due to lack of nitrate reductase genes (Moore et al. 2002).”
Relative influence of nitrogen and phosphorous availability on phytoplankton physiology and productivity in the oligotrophic sub‐tropical North Atlantic Ocean (2008, background): “In contrast to the majority of Synechococcus isolates, cultured Prochlorococcus strains are incapable of utilizing NO {3 (Moore et al. 2002).”
Nitrogenase genes in non-cyanobacterial plankton: prevalence, diversity and regulation in marine waters (2010, background): “Similarly, Moore et al. (2002) found that their Prochlorococcus isolates were not able to grow with nitrate as the only N source, and Allen et al. (2001) observed that structural genes for nitrate assimilation (nasA) could only be amplified from certain 240 Riemann et al.: Non-cyanobacterial…”
Contrasting photoacclimation costs in ecotypes of the marine eukaryotic picoplankter Ostreococcus (2008, background): “Surface- and low-light–adapted Prochlorococcus strains show distinct nutrient uptake capacities (Moore et al. 2002) and photophysiological features (Moore et al. 1995).”
Cyanobacterial Mats and Stromatolites (2000, background): “Urea appears also to be a common nitrogen source for cyanobacteria (Moore et al. 2002 ; Valladares et al. 2002 ) .”
The uncultured microbial majority. (2003, background): “The deepest branches within the Prochlorococcusubclade are ecotypes that are found near the bottom of the photic zone, have high Chl b/a2 ratios, and can use NO 2− or NH4+ as sources of inorganic nitrogen (72).”
Amino acid uptake of Prochlorococcus spp. in surface waters across the South Atlantic Subtropical Front (2005, background): “Because it is generally accepted that cyanobacteria are obligate photoautotrophic microorganisms, their photosynthetic activity and inorganic nutrient acquisition, including nitrogen fixation (Zehr et al. 2001), have been extensively studied (Moore et al. 1995, 2002, Lopez-Lozano et al. 2002).”
