Distribution and diversity ofProchlorococcusecotypes in the Red Sea

Abstract: Photosynthetic prokaryotes of the genus Prochlorococcus play a major role in global primary production in the world's oligotrophic oceans. A recent study on pelagic bacterioplankton communities in the northern and central Red Sea indicated that the predominant cyanobacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence types were from Prochlorococcus cells belonging to a high-light-adapted ecotype (HL II). In this study, we analyzed microdiversity of Prochlorococcus sp. at multiple depths within and below the euphotic zone in the n… Show more

“…Further, and specifically in the Red Sea, Shibl et al . 81, 82 showed differences in the composition of Prochlorococcus in the water column, with strains adapted to conditions lower in the water column possibly having a different thermal tolerance. The peak in abundances around 30 °C is in agreement with culture tests on high light II cultures of Prochlorococcus whose growth rate declines rapidly around 28–29 °C 83 .…”

“…Communities were dominated by the cyanobacterial family Synechococcaceae, which is characteristic for open sea surface water across the Red Sea [67,118]. Synechococcaceae are particularly adapted to oligotrophic environments and are a major primary producer in oligotrophic waters [119].…”

“…Phytoplankton and bacterial communities are closely linked in coastal marine environments (Fuhrman et al, 1980; Rooney-Varga et al, 2005; Amin et al, 2015) and bacterial–algal interactions play a major role in determining bacterial and algal diversity in the ocean (Schäfer et al, 2002). Detailed knowledge of these interactions is thus crucial for understanding marine ecosystems.…”
