Global Phylogeography of Marine Synechococcus in Coastal Areas Reveals Strong Community Shifts
Abstract
Synechococcus is the second most abundant phytoplanktonic organism on Earth, and its wide genetic diversity allowed it to colonize all the oceans except for polar waters, with different clades colonizing distinct oceanic niches. In recent years, the use of global metagenomics data sets has greatly improved our knowledge of “who is where” by describing the distribution of Synechococcus clades or ecotypes in the open ocean.
