Diatoms dominate primary production in nutrient-rich ecosystems. Less is known about the diversity and ecology of diatoms in low latitude, oligotrophic ecosystems. Here, we examined using scanning electron microscopy the seasonal succession of planktonic diatoms in the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea), a subtropical ecosystem that alternates between stratif...
Cyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus play a key role as primary producers and drivers of the global carbon cycle in temperate and tropical oceans. Synechococcus use phycobilisomes as photosynthetic light-harvesting antennas. These contain phycoerythrin, a pigment-protein complex specialized for absorption of blue light, which penetrates deep in...
Rising ocean temperatures will alter the diversity of marine phytoplankton communities, likely leading to modifications in food-web and biogeochemical dynamics. Here we focus on the coccolithophores, a prominent group of calcifying phytoplankton the play a central role in the global carbon cycle. We found using both new (2017-2020) and historical (...
Mixotrophic algae that combine photoautotrophy with phagotrophy in a single cell are prevalent in marine ecosystems. Here, we assessed the ability of food ingestion in coccolithophores, an important group of calcifying haptophytes inhabiting the oceans. We tested 4 species from different coccolithophore lineages (Emiliania huxleyi, Calcidiscus lept...
