	abstract = {Ostreococcus, the smallest known marine picoeukaryote, includes low- and high-light ecotypes. To determine the basis for niche partitioning between Ostreococcus sp. RCC809, isolated from the bottom of the tropical Atlantic euphotic zone, and the lagoon strain Ostreococcus tauri, we studied their photophysiologies under growth irradiances from 15 mmol photons m22 s21 to 800 mmol photons m22 s21 with a common nutrient replete regime. With increasing growth irradiance, both strains down-regulated cellular chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b (Chl a and Chl b) content, increased xanthophyll de-epoxidation correlated with nonphotochemical excitation quenching, and accumulated lutein. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase content remained fairly stable. Under low-growth irradiances of 15{\textendash}80 mmol photons m22 s21, O. sp. RCC809 had equivalent or slightly higher growth rates, lower Chl a, a higher Chl b : Chl a ratio, and a larger photosystem II (PSII) antenna than O. tauri. O. tauri was more phenotypically plastic in response to growth irradiance, with a larger dynamic range in growth rate, Chl a, photosystem cell content, and cellular absorption cross-section of PSII. Estimating the amino acid and nitrogen costs for photoacclimation showed that the deep-sea oceanic O. sp. RCC809 relies largely on lower nitrogen cost changes in PSII antenna size to achieve a limited range of s-type light acclimation. O. sp. RCC809, however, suffers photoinhibition under higher light. This limited capacity for photoacclimation is compatible with the stable low-light and nutrient conditions at the base of the euphotic layer of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. In the more variable, high-nutrient, lagoon environment, O. tauri can afford to use a higher cost n-type acclimation of photosystem contents to exploit a wider range of light.},

	abstract = {The basal position of the Mamiellales (Prasinophyceae) within the green lineage makes these unicellular organisms key to elucidating early stages in the evolution of chlorophyll a/b{\textendash}binding light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). Here, we unveil the complete and unexpected diversity of Lhc proteins in Ostreococcus tauri, a member of the Mamiellales order, based on results from complete genome sequencing. Like Mantoniella squamata, O. tauri possesses a number of genes encoding an unusual prasinophyte-specific Lhc protein type herein designated "Lhcp". Biochemical characterization of the complexes revealed that these polypeptides, which bind chlorophylls a, b, and a chlorophyll c{\textendash}like pigment (Mg-2,4-divinyl-phaeoporphyrin a5 monomethyl ester) as well as a number of unusual carotenoids, are likely predominant. They are retrieved to some extent in both reaction center I (RCI){\textendash} and RCII-enriched fractions, suggesting a possible association to both photosystems. However, in sharp contrast to previous reports on LHCs of M. squamata, O. tauri also possesses other LHC subpopulations, including LHCI proteins (encoded by five distinct Lhca genes) and the minor LHCII polypeptides, CP26 and CP29. Using an antibody against plant Lhca2, we unambiguously show that LHCI proteins are present not only in O. tauri, in which they are likely associated to RCI, but also in other Mamiellales, including M. squamata. With the exception of Lhcp genes, all the identified Lhc genes are present in single copy only. Overall, the discovery of LHCI proteins in these prasinophytes, combined with the lack of the major LHCII polypeptides found in higher plants or other green algae, supports the hypothesis that the latter proteins appeared subsequent to LHCI proteins. The major LHC of prasinophytes might have arisen prior to the LHCII of other chlorophyll a/b{\textendash}containing organisms, possibly by divergence of a LHCI gene precursor. However, the discovery in O. tauri of CP26-like proteins, phylogenetically placed at the base of the major LHCII protein clades, yields new insight to the origin of these antenna proteins, which have evolved separately in higher plants and green algae. Its diverse but numerically limited suite of Lhc genes renders O. tauri an exceptional model system for future research on the evolution and function of LHC components.},

Here we have sequenced and analysed the 2.4-megabase genome of Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102, revealing some of the ways that these organisms have adapted to their largely oligotrophic environment. WH8102 uses organic nitrogen and phosphorus sources and more sodium-dependent transporters than a model freshwater cyanobacterium. Furthermore, it seems to have adopted strategies for conserving limited iron stores by using nickel and cobalt in some enzymes, has reduced its regulatory machinery (consistent with the fact that the open ocean constitutes a far more constant and buffered environment than fresh water), and has evolved a unique type of swimming motility. The genome of WH8102 seems to have been greatly influenced by horizontal gene transfer, partially through phages. The genetic material contributed by horizontal gene transfer includes genes involved in the modification of the cell surface and in swimming motility. On the basis of its genome, WH8102 is more of a generalist than two related marine cyanobacteria(2).},

The ITSs of three strains (PCC 9511(T), PCC 6307 and PCC 7001) were sequenced and compared with those available for strains Prochlorococcus MED4 (CCMP 1378) and MIT9313 from genome sequencing projects. In spite of large differences in length, sequence and mean DNA base composition, conserved domains important for transcriptional antitermination and folding of the rRNA transcripts were identified in all ITSs. A new group-specific primer permitted ITS amplification even with non-axenic isolates of Prochlorococcus and one OMF-{\textquoteright}Synechococcus{\textquoteright} strain. Prochlorococcus isolates of the high-light-adapted clade (HL) differed from representatives of the low-light-adapted Glade (LL) by the length of their ITS. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the ITS amplicons revealed three subclusters among the HL strains. Size, sequence data and RFLP of the ITS amplicons will therefore be valuable markers for the identification of different Prochlorococcus genotypes and for their discrimination from other cyanobacterial relatives with which they often co-exist in oceanic ecosystems.},

	abstract = {<p>The effect of light on the synchronization of cell cycling was investigated in several strains of the oceanic photosynthetic prokaryote Prochlorococcus using flow cytometry. When exposed to a light-dark (L-D) cycle with an irradiance of 25 mu mol of quanta m(-2) s(-1), the low-light-adapted strain SS 120 appeared to be better synchronized than the high-light-adapted strain PCC 9511. Submitting LD-entrained populations to shifts (advances or delays) in the timing of the "light on" signal translated to corresponding shifts in the initiation of the S phase, suggesting that this signal is a key parameter for the synchronization of population cell cycles. Cultures that were shifted from an L-D cycle to continuous irradiance showed persistent diel oscillations of flow-cytometric signals (light scatter and chlorophyll fluorescence) but with significantly reduced amplitudes and a phase shift. Complete darkness arrested most of the cells in the G(1), phase of the cell cycle, indicating that light is required to trigger the initiation of DNA replication and cell division. However, some cells also arrested in the S phase, suggesting that cell cycle controls in Prochlorococcus spp. are not as strict as in marine Synechococcus spp. Shifting Prochlorococcus cells from low to high irradiance translated quasi-instantaneously into an increase of cells in both the S and G(2) phases of the cell cycle and then into faster growth, whereas the inverse shift induced rapid slowing of the population growth rate. These data suggest a close coupling between irradiance levels and cell cycling in Prochloroeoccus spp.</p>

These included the photosynthetic prokaryotes Pro-chlorococcus (strains MED 4, PCC 9511, and SS 120) and Synechococcus (strains ALMO 03, ROS 04, WH 7803, and WH 8103) and five picoeukaryotes (Bathycoccus prasinos Eikrem et Throndsen, Bolidomonas pacifica Guillou et Chretiennot-Dinet, Micromonas pusilla Manton et Parke, Pelagomonas calceolata Andersen et Saunders, and Pycnococcus provasolii Guillard et al.). Flow cytometric analysis was used to determine the relationship between cell light scatter, pigment fluorescence, DNA (when possible), and the LD cycle in these organisms. Asexpected, growth and division were tightly coupled to the LD cycle for all of these strains. For both Prochlorococcus and picoeukaryotes, chi and intracellular carbon increased throughout the light period as estimated by chi fluorescence and light scatter, respectively. In response to cell division, these parameters decreased regularly during the early part of the dark period, a decrease that either continued throughout the dark period or stopped for the second half of the dark period. For Synechococcus, the decrease of chi and scatter occurred earlier (in the middle of the light period), and for some strains these cellular parameters remained constant throughout the dark period. The timing of division was very similar for all picoeukaryotes and occurred just before the subjective dusk, whereas it was more variable between the different Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus strains. The burst of division for Prochlorococcus SS 120 and PCC 9511 was recorded at the subjective dusk, whereas the MED 4 strain divided later at night. Synechococcus ALMO 03, ROS 04, and WH 7803, which have a low phycourobilin to phycoerythrobilin (PUB:PEB) ratio, divided earlier, and their division was restricted to the light period. In contrast, the high PUB:PEB Synechococcus strain WH 8103 divided preferentially at night. There was a weak linear relationship between the FALS(max):FALS(min) ratio and growth rate calculated from cell counts (r = 0.83},

Eight strains of Bolidophyceae were isolated in culture from different mesotrophic and oligotrophic areas. The corresponding small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences allowed us to design two probes specific for the Bolidophyceae. These probes have been used in natural samples (i) to selectively amplify and detect Bolidophyceae sequences and (ii) to quantify the relative abundance of Bolidophyceae within the picoeukaryote community. Sequences available to date indicate that the class Bolidophyceae comprises at least three different clades, two corresponding to the previously described species Bolidomonas pacifica and Bolidomonas mediterranea and the third one corresponding to a subspecies of B. Pacifica. Amplification of the SSU rRNA gene from natural samples with universal primers and hybridization using a Bolidomonas-specific probe followed by a eukaryote-specific probe allowed us to estimate the contribution of the Bolidophyceae to the eukaryotic DNA in both Pacific and Mediterranean waters to be lower than 1\%. Similarly, high-performance liquid chromatography analyses of fucoxanthin, the major carotenoid present in Bolidophyceae, indicated that less than 4\% of the total chlorophyll a in the picoplanktonic fraction in the equatorial Pacific was due to Bolidophyceae. Consequently, although strains of Bolidophyceae have been isolated from samples collected at several stations, this new class seems to have been a minor component of the natural picoeukaryotic populations in the ecosystems investigated, at least during the periods sampled.},
