This project focuses on understanding the ecological role of tiny photosynthetic organisms in the ocean, known as picophytoplankton. By examining their interactions with parasites and other factors, the research aims to clarify their impact on carbon cycling and marine ecosystems.
The oceans play a major role in determining world climate.
In part this is due to the production of oxygen and the consumption of carbon dioxide (CO2) by very small, single celled photosynthetic organisms, the picophytoplankton.
Picophytoplankton biomass is dominated by eukaryotes comprising cells <5 micrometres in size.
These small photosynthetic eukaryotes (PPEs) hence play a critical role in global CO2 fixation but also in carbon cycling.
Work to date has focused on the genetic characterisati…
