The paper identifies genetic traits of low-light adapted Prochlorococcus in the Equatorial Pacific, showing loss of nitrite assimilation and use of an iron-independent HemG isoform.

This study shows Prochlorococcus forms biofilms, transitions between planktonic and biofilm states, and exudes more organic carbon, suggesting a role in deep-sea carbon export.

This study quantifies the particle-associated Prochlorococcus population globally and finds it correlates with productivity and carbon export.

This study investigates how heterotrophic bacteria affect phage infection of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, finding that heterotrophs enable host recovery and confer resistance through non-genetic metabolic changes.

The paper shows that nitrogen-limited Prochlorococcus release more nitrite after a nitrate pulse compared to nitrogen-replete cells, suggesting a role in nitrite cycling under nitrogen limitation.

This study examines the interactions between Prochlorococcus and co-occurring heterotrophic bacteria in synthetic communities, revealing distinct metabolic roles and crossfeeding interactions.

This paper develops an electroporation method to transform plasmids into two Prochlorococcus strains, enabling genetic manipulation and functional studies.

ProSynTax provides a curated protein dataset and workflow to improve taxonomic classification of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus in metagenomes with high phylogenetic resolution.

This study shows that Alteromonas macleodii MIT1002 selectively uptakes specific metabolites from Prochlorococcus, highlighting the importance of transporter specificity in microbial interactions with dissolved organic matter.

The paper identifies purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding networks among ocean microbes, revealing niche partitioning and potential cryptic nitrogen cycles driven by Prochlorococcus and SAR11 interactions.

The paper isolates and characterizes four new Prochlorococcus strains, revealing physiological and genomic features that expand the understanding of its macroevolutionary history.

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus develops a dark-tolerant phenotype when co-cultured with Alteromonas, involving metabolic coupling and shifts in gene expression.

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus MED4 reduces nitrogen content in transcripts under nitrogen deprivation by using internal transcription start sites and shorter transcripts.
