	abstract = {The genomic revolution has bridged a gap in our knowledge about the diversity, biology and evolution of unicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes, which bear very few discriminating morphological features among species from the same genus. The high-quality genome resources available in the class Mamiellophyceae (Chlorophyta) have been paramount to estimate species diversity and screen available metagenomic data to assess the biogeography and ecological niches of different species on a global scale. Here we review the current knowledge about the diversity, ecology and evolution of the Mamiellophyceae and the large double-stranded DNA prasinoviruses infecting them, brought by the combination of genomic and metagenomic analyses, including 26 metabarcoding environmental studies, as well as the pan-oceanic GOS and the Tara Oceans expeditions.},

	abstract = {Although sex is now accepted as a ubiquitous and ancestral feature of eukaryotes, direct observation of sex is still lacking in most unicellular eukaryotic lineages. Evidence of sex is frequently indirect and inferred from the identification of genes involved in meiosis from whole genome data and/or the detection of recombination signatures from genetic diversity in natural populations. In haploid unicellular eukaryotes, sex-related chromosomes are named mating-type (MTs) chromosomes and generally carry large genomic regions where recombination is suppressed. These regions have been characterized in Fungi and Chlorophyta and determine gamete compatibility and fusion. Two candidate MT{\th} and MT{\`A} alleles, spanning 450{\textendash}650 kb, have recently been described in Ostreococcus tauri, a marine phytoplanktonic alga from the Mamiellophyceae class, an early diverging branch in the green lineage. Here, we investigate the architecture and evolution of these candidate MT{\th} and MT{\`A} alleles. We analyzed the phylogenetic profile and GC content of MT gene families in eight different genomes whose divergence has been previously estimated at up to 640 Myr, and found evidence that the divergence of the two MT alleles predates speciation in the Ostreococcus genus. Phylogenetic profiles of MT transspecific polymorphisms in gametologs disclosed candidate MTs in two additional species, and possibly a third. These Mamiellales MT candidates are likely to be the oldest mating-type loci described to date, which makes them fascinating models to investigate the evolutionary mechanisms of haploid sex determination in eukaryotes.},

	abstract = {Coastal marine waters in many regions worldwide support abundant populations of extremely small (1-3 ??m diameter) unicellular eukaryotic green algae, dominant taxa including several species in the class Mamiellophyceae. Their diminutive size conceals surprising levels of genetic diversity and defies classical species{\textquoteright} descriptions. We present a detailed analysis within the genus Ostreococcus and show that morphological characteristics cannot be used to describe diversity within this group. Karyotypic analyses of the best-characterized species O. tauri show it to carry two chromosomes that vary in size between individual clonal lines, probably an evolutionarily ancient feature that emerged before species{\textquoteright} divergences within the Mamiellales. By using a culturing technique specifically adapted to members of the genus Ostreococcus, we purified {\textquestiondown}30 clonal lines of a new species, Ostreococcus mediterraneus sp. nov., previously known as Ostreococcus clade D, that has been overlooked in several studies based on PCR-amplification of genetic markers from environment-extracted DNA. Phylogenetic analyses of the S-adenosylmethionine synthetase gene, and of the complete small subunit ribosomal RNA gene, including detailed comparisons of predicted ITS2 (internal transcribed spacer 2) secondary structures, clearly support that this is a separate species. In addition, karyotypic analyses reveal that the chromosomal location of its ribosomal RNA gene cluster differs from other Ostreococcus clades.},
