From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fraction of cyanobacteria between 0.2 and 2 μm
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
Freshwater picocyanobacteria genera include
Synechococcus,
Cyanobium, and
Synechocystis,
[3] and marine picocyanobacteria genera are represented primarily by
Synechococcus and
Prochlorococcus.
