Among the tiniest living things in the ocean are a group of single-celled microbes called Prochlorococcus. They are cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, and they supply nutrients for animals ...

An ocean-dwelling organism called Prochlorococcus plays an important role in photosynthesis. Oceanographer Penny Chisholm explains. Video by Rebecca Jacobson. Additional video courtesy Eric Grabowski, ...

Prochlorococcus are the smallest and most abundant photosynthesizing organisms on the planet. A single Prochlorococcus cell is dwarfed by a human red blood cell, yet globally the microbes number in ...

Statistically derived species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly used to predict ecological changes on a warming planet. For Prochlorococcus, the most abundant phytoplankton, an established ...

Prochlorococcus is a type of a cyanobacterium, a microbe that meets its energy needs through photosynthesis. It is estimated to be responsible for 5% of all photosynthesis occurring around the world, ...

This planet has a problem with plastic. Not just the big masses of it accumulating in the Pacific, but with the tiny bits that are blowing into pristine mountaintop habitats. The flecks showing up in ...

Prochlorococcus are the smallest and most abundant photosynthesizing organisms on the planet. A single Prochlorococcus cell is dwarfed by a human red blood cell, yet globally the microbes number in ...

SEATTLE — For decades, scientists believed Prochlorococcus, the smallest and most abundant phytoplankton on Earth, would thrive in a warmer world. But new research suggests the microscopic bacterium, ...

Where the microbe Prochlorococcus lives is not determined primarily by temperature, as previously thought. A study finds a relationship with a shared predator actually sets the microbe's range. The ...
