	abstract = {Chloropicophyceae (Prasinophyte Clade VII) are small nonmotile coccoid cells with cell diameters ranging from 1 to 3 μm. Molecular surveys indicate they are relatively high in abundance in moderately oligotrophic oceanic waters and may substantively contribute to biogeochemical cycling in the sea. Here, we quantify the elemental and macromolecular composition of three subtropical Chloropicophyceae strains: Chloropicon mariensis, Chloropicon maureeniae, and Chloropicon roscoffensis under nutrient-sufficient exponential growth and nitrate starvation. Under nutrient-sufficient conditions the Chloropicophyceae are high in C : N and quite low in C : P and N : P relative to the canonical Redfield ratio, reflecting their relatively high nucleic acid composition compared to many other phytoplankton taxa. Nitrate starvation causes increases in C : N and C : P and decreases in N : P, primarily due to increases in carbohydrate and lipid and decreases in protein and RNA. There is genetic evidence that unlike most other green algae, Chloropicophyceae are diploid. The high nucleic acid content in the Chloropicon is consistent with the hypothesis that the nucleus, as a nonscalable component, takes up a larger and substantial proportion of cell mass in diploid picoeukaryotes. The elemental and macromolecular composition of these Chloropicophyceae, and relatively homeostatic response to N-starvation compared to diatoms, provides some insight into their success in the moderately oligotrophic ocean.},

	abstract = {While algal phago-mixotrophs play a major role in aquatic microbial food webs, their diversity remains poorly understood. Recent studies have indicated several species of prasinophytes, early diverging green algae, to be able to consume bacteria for nutrition. To further explore the occurrence of phago-mixotrophy in green algae, we conducted feeding experiments with live fluorescently labeled bacteria stained with CellTracker Green CMFDA, heat-killed bacteria stained with 5-(4,6-dichlorotriazin-2-yl) aminofluorescein (DTAF), and magnetic beads. Feeding was detected via microscopy and/or flow cytometry in five strains of prasinophytes when provided with live bacteria: Pterosperma cristatum NIES626, Pyramimonas parkeae CCMP726, Pyramimonas parkeae NIES254, Nephroselmis pyriformis RCC618, and Dolichomastix tenuilepis CCMP3274. No feeding was detected when heat-killed bacteria or magnetic beads were provided, suggesting a strong preference for live prey in the strains tested. In parallel to experimental assays, green algal bacterivory was investigated using a gene-based prediction model. The predictions agreed with the experimental results and suggested bacterivory potential in additional green algae. Our observations underline the likelihood of widespread occurrence of phago-mixotrophy among green algae, while additionally highlighting potential biases introduced when using prey proxy to evaluate bacterial ingestion by algal cells.},
