• Publication: Niche partitioning and biogeography of high light adapted Prochlorococcus across taxonomic ranks in the North Pacific

  The distribution of major clades of Prochlorococcus tracks light, temperature and other environmental variables; yet, the drivers of genomic diversity within these ecotypes and the net effect on biodiversity of the larger community are poorly understood. We examined high light (HL) adapted Prochlorococcus communities across spatial and temporal environmental gradients in the Pacific Ocean to…

• Publication: Variable but persistent coexistence of Prochlorococcus ecotypes along temperature gradients in the ocean’s surface mixed layer

  This work contributes new knowledge about the distributions of the marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus. Specifically, it is the first to compare basin-scale latitudinal transects for the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; it is the first to show that the ratios of the dominant lineages (ecotypes) vary as a log-linear function with temperature; it is the first to…

• Publication: The Ocean Sampling Day Consortium

  Ocean Sampling Day was initiated by the EU-funded Micro B3 (Marine Microbial Biodiversity, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology) project to obtain a snapshot of the marine microbial biodiversity and function of the world’s oceans. It is a simultaneous global mega-sequencing campaign aiming to generate the largest standardized microbial data set in a single day. This will be achievable…
