	abstract = {It is well known that the biological control of oceanic silica cycling is dominated by diatoms, with sponges and radiolarians playing additional roles. Recent studies have revealed that some smaller marine organisms (e.g. the picocyanobacterium Synechococcus) also take up silicic acid (dissolved silica, dSi) and accumulate silica, despite not exhibiting silicon dependent cellular structures. Here, we show biogenic silica (bSi) accumulation in five strains of picoeukaryotes (<2{\textendash}3 μm), including three novel isolates from the Baltic Sea, and two marine species (Ostreococcus tauri and Micromonas commoda), in cultures grown with added dSi (100 μM). Average bSi accumulation in these novel biosilicifiers was between 30 and 92 amol Si cell-1. Growth rate and cell size of the picoeukaryotes were not affected by dSi addition. Still, the purpose of bSi accumulation in these smaller eukaryotic organisms lacking silicon dependent structures remains unclear. In line with the increasing recognition of picoeukaryotes in biogeochemical cycling, our findings suggest that they can also play a significant role in silica cycling.},

	abstract = {Phytoplankton is a minor fraction of the global biomass playing a major role in primary production and climate. Despite improved understanding of phytoplankton diversity and genomics, we lack nanoscale subcellular imaging approaches to understand their physiology and cell biology. Here, we present a complete Focused Ion Beam - Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) workflow (from sample preparation to image processing) to generate nanometric 3D phytoplankton models. Tomograms of entire cells, representatives of six ecologically-successful phytoplankton unicellular eukaryotes, were used for quantitative morphometric analysis. Besides lineage-specific cellular architectures, we observed common features related to cellular energy management: i) conserved cell-volume fractions occupied by the different organelles; ii) consistent plastid-mitochondria interactions, iii) constant volumetric ratios in these energy-producing organelles. We revealed detailed subcellular features related to chromatin organization and to biomineralization. Overall, this approach opens new perspectives to study phytoplankton acclimation responses to abiotic and biotic factors at a relevant biological scale.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.},

We sequenced genomes from two Micromonas isolates (22 Mb, CCMP1545; 21 Mb, RCC299) and the results improve understanding of their ecology and green-lineage evolution. Despite high 18S rDNA sequence identity, only 90\% of their predicted genes were shared. Novel intronic repeat elements in CCMP1545, otherwise found only in metagenomic data, and unique riboswitch arrangements emphasized their independent evolutionary paths. Phylogenomic profiles revealed putative ancestral features, but also indicated selection/acquisition processes are actively shaping a {\textquoteleft}unique{\textquoteright} gene pool in each differently than {\textquoteleft}core{\textquoteright} genes. Current climate-change trajectories are predicted to produce conditions favoring picophytoplankton, making Micromonas potential indicators of biological change in ocean ecosystems.},
