	abstract = {Ostreococcus, the smallest known marine picoeukaryote, includes low- and high-light ecotypes. To determine the basis for niche partitioning between Ostreococcus sp. RCC809, isolated from the bottom of the tropical Atlantic euphotic zone, and the lagoon strain Ostreococcus tauri, we studied their photophysiologies under growth irradiances from 15 mmol photons m22 s21 to 800 mmol photons m22 s21 with a common nutrient replete regime. With increasing growth irradiance, both strains down-regulated cellular chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b (Chl a and Chl b) content, increased xanthophyll de-epoxidation correlated with nonphotochemical excitation quenching, and accumulated lutein. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase content remained fairly stable. Under low-growth irradiances of 15{\textendash}80 mmol photons m22 s21, O. sp. RCC809 had equivalent or slightly higher growth rates, lower Chl a, a higher Chl b : Chl a ratio, and a larger photosystem II (PSII) antenna than O. tauri. O. tauri was more phenotypically plastic in response to growth irradiance, with a larger dynamic range in growth rate, Chl a, photosystem cell content, and cellular absorption cross-section of PSII. Estimating the amino acid and nitrogen costs for photoacclimation showed that the deep-sea oceanic O. sp. RCC809 relies largely on lower nitrogen cost changes in PSII antenna size to achieve a limited range of s-type light acclimation. O. sp. RCC809, however, suffers photoinhibition under higher light. This limited capacity for photoacclimation is compatible with the stable low-light and nutrient conditions at the base of the euphotic layer of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. In the more variable, high-nutrient, lagoon environment, O. tauri can afford to use a higher cost n-type acclimation of photosystem contents to exploit a wider range of light.},

	abstract = {<p>The effect of light on the synchronization of cell cycling was investigated in several strains of the oceanic photosynthetic prokaryote Prochlorococcus using flow cytometry. When exposed to a light-dark (L-D) cycle with an irradiance of 25 mu mol of quanta m(-2) s(-1), the low-light-adapted strain SS 120 appeared to be better synchronized than the high-light-adapted strain PCC 9511. Submitting LD-entrained populations to shifts (advances or delays) in the timing of the "light on" signal translated to corresponding shifts in the initiation of the S phase, suggesting that this signal is a key parameter for the synchronization of population cell cycles. Cultures that were shifted from an L-D cycle to continuous irradiance showed persistent diel oscillations of flow-cytometric signals (light scatter and chlorophyll fluorescence) but with significantly reduced amplitudes and a phase shift. Complete darkness arrested most of the cells in the G(1), phase of the cell cycle, indicating that light is required to trigger the initiation of DNA replication and cell division. However, some cells also arrested in the S phase, suggesting that cell cycle controls in Prochlorococcus spp. are not as strict as in marine Synechococcus spp. Shifting Prochlorococcus cells from low to high irradiance translated quasi-instantaneously into an increase of cells in both the S and G(2) phases of the cell cycle and then into faster growth, whereas the inverse shift induced rapid slowing of the population growth rate. These data suggest a close coupling between irradiance levels and cell cycling in Prochloroeoccus spp.</p>
