From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Picocyanobacteria are cyanobacteria that are part of the picoplankton, which is the fraction of plankton composed by cells between 0.2 and 2 μm.[1] Picocyanobacteria comprise the smallest photoautotrophs.[2]

Genera

[edit]

Freshwater picocyanobacteria genera include Synechococcus, Cyanobium, and Synechocystis,[3] and marine picocyanobacteria genera are represented primarily by Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus.[4]
