Accelerated evolution associated with genome reduction in a free-living prokaryote (2005)
Dufresne, Alexis, Garczarek, Laurence, Partensky, Frédéric
Abstract Background Three complete genomes of Prochlorococcus species, the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, have recently been published. Comparative genome analyses...
Multiplication of antenna genes as a major adaptation to low light in a marine prokaryote
Garczarek, Laurence, Hess, Wolfgang R., Holtzendorff, Julia, Partensky, Frédéric
Two ecotypes of the prokaryote Prochlorococcus adapted to distinct light niches in the ocean have been described recently. These ecotypes are characterized by their different (divinyl-) chlorophyll...
Accelerated evolution associated with genome reduction in a free-living prokaryote
Dufresne, Alexis, Garczarek, Laurence, Partensky, Frédéric
Prochlorococcus sp. are marine bacteria with very small genomes. The mechanisms by which these reduced genomes have evolved appears, however, to be distinct from those that have led to small genome...

Diversity and evolution of phycobilisomes in marine Synechococcus spp.: a comparative genomics study
Six, Christophe, Thomas, Jean-Claude, Garczarek, Laurence, Ostrowski, Martin, Dufresne, Alexis, Blot, Nicolas, ...
By comparing Synechococcus genomes, candidate genes required for the production of phycobiliproteins, which are part of the light-harvesting antenna complexes called phycobilisomes, were identified....
