Choreography of the transcriptome, photophysiology, and cell cycle of a minimal photoautotroph, prochlorococcus

The marine cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus MED4 has the smallest genome and cell size of all known photosynthetic organisms. Like all phototrophs at temperate latitudes, it experiences predictable daily variation in available light energy which leads to temporal regulation and partitioning of key cel...
