	abstract = {Ostreococcus is a genus of widely distributed marine phytoplankton which are picoplanktonic in size ({\textexclamdown} 2 mu m) and capable of rapid growth. Although Ostreococcus has been detected around the world, little quantitative information exists on its contribution to planktonic communities. We designed and implemented a genus-specific TaqMan-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to investigate the dynamics and ecology of Ostreococcus at the USC Microbial Observatory (eastern North Pacific). Samples were collected from 5 m and the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) between September 2000 and August 2002. Ostreococcus abundance at 5 m was generally {\textexclamdown} 5.0 X 10(3) cells ml(-1), with a maximum of 8.2 X 10(4) cells ml(-1). Ostreococcus abundance was typically higher at the DCM, with a maximum of 3.2 X 10(5) cells ml(-1). The vertical distribution of Ostreococcus was examined in March 2005 and compared to the distribution of phototrophic picoeukaryotes (PPE) measured by flow cytometry. The largest contribution to PPE abundance by Ostreococcus was similar to 70\% and occurred at 30 m, near the DCM. Despite its relatively low abundance, the depth-integrated standing stock of Ostreococcus in March 2005 was similar to 30 mg C m(-2). Our work provides a new technique for quantifying the abundance of Ostreococcus and demonstrates the seasonal dynamics of this genus and its contribution to picoeukaryote biomass at our coastal sampling station.},

	abstract = {Phylogenetic analyses of 18S rDNA sequences from 25 prasinophytes, including 10 coccoid isolates, reveals that coccoid organisms are-found in at least three prasinophyte lineages, The coccoid Ostreococcus tauri is included in the Mamiellales lineage and Pycnococcus provasolii is allied with the f dfellate Pseudoscourfieldia marina. A previously undescribed prasinophyte lineage is comprised of the coccoid Prasinococcus cf. Capsulatus (CCMP 1407) and other isolates tentatively identified as Prasinococcussp. (CCMP 1202, CCMP 1614, and CCMP 1194), as well as three unnamed coccoids (CCMP 1193, CCMP 1413, and CCMP 1220). No flagellate organisms are known from this lineage. Organisms of this new lineage share some characteristics of both the Pycnococcaceae and the Mamiellales, although relationships among these separate lineages were not supported by bootstrap analyses. An additional unnamed coccoid isolate (CCMP 1205) is separate from all major prasinophyte lineages. The analyses did not resolve the relationships among the major prasinophyte lineages, although they support previous conclusions that the Prasinophyceae are not monophyletic.},

	abstract = {A new algal class, the Bolidophyceae (Heterokonta), is described from one genus, Bolidomonas, gen, nov., and two species, Bolidomonas pacifica, sp, nov and Bolidomonas mediterranea, sp, nov., isolated from the equatorial Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively. Both species are approximately 1.2 mu m in diameter and have two unequal flagella; the longer flagellum bears tubular hairs, whereas the shorter is smooth. The flagellar basal apparatus is restricted to two basal bodies, and there is no transitional helix. Cells are naked, devoid of walls or siliceous structures. The internal cellular organization is simple with a single plastid containing a ring genophore and a girdle lamella, one mitochondrion with tubular cristae, and one Golgi apparatus close to the basal bodies. The Mediterranean and the Pacific species differ in the insertion angle between their flagella and their pattern of swimming, these differences possibly being linked to each other. Analyses of the SSU rDNA gene place the two strains as a sister group to the diatoms, Moreover, pigment analyses confirm this position, as fucoxanthin is found as the major carotenoid in both lineages. These data strongly suggest that the ancestral heterokont that gave rise to the diatom lineage was probably a biflagellated unicell.},
