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 ...

Temperature-dependent responses in Prochlorococcus populations show populations plummet as temperatures rise. (Nature Microbiology via Courthouse News) (CN) — In the vast, sun-drenched expanses of ...

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 ...

The lines on the map are cruise tracks, overlaying temperature. The water in yellow areas hovers around 86 degrees while the temperature at the poles is closer to 32. Researchers cataloged ...

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 ...
