Marine phytoplankton are responsible for about half of the photosynthesis on Earth. Many
are mixotrophs, combining photosynthesis with heterotrophic assimilation of organic carbon, …

In the oceans and seas, environmental conditions change over multiple temporal and
spatial scales. Here, we ask what factors affect the bacterial community structure across time, …

Many microorganisms produce resting cells with very low metabolic activity that allow them
to survive phases of prolonged nutrient or energy stress. In cyanobacteria and some …

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS) is a poorly studied ultra-oligotrophic marine environment,
dominated by small-size phyto- and bacterioplankton. Here, we describe the dynamics …

Marine microbial communities vary seasonally and spatially, but these two factors are rarely
addressed together. In this study, the temporal and spatial patterns of the bacterial and …

In this study, we test the applicability of the Droop/Caperon internal stores model to describe
the growth and decline of the globally abundant marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus in …

Every living cell is composed of macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, RNA, and pigments.
The ratio between these macromolecular pools depends on the allocation of resources …
