A simple method for whole-cell hybridization using fluorescently labeled rRNA-targeted peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes was developed for use in marine cyanobacterial picoplankton. In contrast to...
Growth of Vibrio cholerae O1 in Red Tide Waters off California
Mouriño-Pérez, Rosa R., Worden, Alexandra Z., Azam, Farooq
Vibrio cholerae serotype O1 is autochthonous to estuarine and coastal waters. However, its population dynamics in such environments are not well understood. We tested the proliferation of V. cholerae...

The green lineage is reportedly 1,500 million years old, evolving shortly after the endosymbiosis event that gave rise to early photosynthetic eukaryotes. In this study, we unveil the complete genome...
Deschamps, Philippe, Moreau, Hervé, Worden, Alexandra Z., Dauvillée, David, Ball, Steven G.
The endosymbiosis event resulting in the plastid of photosynthetic eukaryotes was accompanied by the appearance of a novel form of storage polysaccharide in Rhodophyceae, Glaucophyta, and...
Widespread distribution of a unique marine protistan lineage
Cuvelier, Marie L, Ortiz, Alejandra, Kim, Eunsoo, Moehlig, Heike, Richardson, David E, Heidelberg, John F, ...
Unicellular eukaryotes (protists) are key components of marine food webs, yet knowledge of their diversity, distributions and respective ecologies is limited. We investigated uncultured protists...
