Grazing impact of two small heterotrophic flagellates on Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus
L. Guillou, S. Jacquet, M. Chrétiennot‐Dinet, D. Vaulot
In open oceanic waters, phytoplankton biomass is dominated by organisms below 2 to 3 µm in size (pico- and small nanophytoplankton). The cell concentration of these populations is very stable in time and space as a consequence of nutrient limitation…
In open oceanic waters, phytoplankton biomass is dominated by organisms below 2 to 3 µm in size (pico- and small nanophytoplankton). The cell concentration of these populations is very stable in time and space as a consequence of nutrient limitation and strong grazing pressure. Although the identity of the organisms that directly graze on picoplank- ton is largely unknown, they are thought to be very small, i.e. 80%) of P. flagellatus cells can pass throughout a 2 µm filter, the impact of such tiny predators should be taken into consideration during field experiments that rely on size fractionation to separate grazers from prey.
