Picoeukaryotes

“These two picoeukaryotes, often considered to be the same species, only share about 90 percent of their genes.” ❋ Unknown (2009)

The very small picoeukaryotes, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, many of which are grazers on bacteria, are extremely diverse but very poorly known. ❋ Unknown (2007)

In previous studies, Worden and her colleagues showed that picoeukaryotes such as ❋ Unknown (2009)

Microminas and other picoeukaryotes account for only a quarter of picophytoplankton cells ❋ Unknown (2009)

She added that these two picoeukaryotes -- photosynthetic eukaryotes thriving in salt water and freshwater -- are often considered to belong to the same species but only share 90 percent of their genes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In previous studies, Worden and her colleagues showed that picoeukaryotes such as Micromonas comprised, on average, only a quarter of the picophytoplankton cells in a Pacific Ocean sampling, but were responsible for three-quarters of the net carbon production. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Microminas and other picoeukaryotes account for only a quarter of picophytoplankton cells -- plankton performing photosynthesis -- but were responsible for three-quarters of net carbon production in a Pacific Ocean sampling, Worden and her fellow researchers showed in previous studies. ❋ Unknown (2009)
