Global niche partitioning of purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding among ocean microbes

The paper identifies purine and pyrimidine cross-feeding networks among ocean microbes, revealing niche partitioning and potential cryptic nitrogen cycles driven by Prochlorococcus and SAR11 interactions.

Localized coevolution between microbial predator and prey alters community-wide gene expression and ecosystem function

The paper examines how coevolution between a bacterial prey and its ciliate predator in a synthetic microbial community affects community-wide gene expression and ecosystem function.

Siderophores as an iron source for Prochlorococcus in deep chlorophyll maximum layers of the oligotrophic ocean

The paper shows that Prochlorococcus in iron-depleted regions uses siderophores for iron uptake, with this trait more common in the North Pacific than the North Atlantic.

Effects of phenotypic variation on consumer coexistence and prey community structure

The paper manipulates intraspecific trait diversity in ciliates and nematodes to show that trait variation can invert competitive hierarchies and lead to competitive exclusion through foraging traits and cascading effects on prey communities.

Novel integrative elements and genomic plasticity in ocean ecosystems

The paper identifies tycheposons, mobile genetic elements in Prochlorococcus, that drive genomic plasticity through gene exchange and contribute to microbial adaptation in ocean ecosystems.

Phosphonate production by marine microbes: exploring new sources and potential function

This study identifies phosphonate biosynthesis in marine microbes, showing its prevalence in diverse lineages and potential role in reducing grazing and viral mortality.

Co-culture and biogeography of Prochlorococcus and SAR11

This study co-cultures Prochlorococcus and SAR11 isolates to examine their interactions and biogeography, finding SAR11 grows faster with Prochlorococcus but not vice versa, and Prochlorococcus meets SAR11's carbon needs.
