1 Diversity of Eukaryotic Marine Photosynthetic Picoplankton
43ème Réunion du Groupement des Protistologues de Langue Française Mai 2005— Dourdan Diversity of Eukaryotic Marine Photosynthetic Picoplankton La présentation est restreinte aux picoplancton photosynthétique car la partie hétérotrophe sera couverte par la présentation suivante de R. Massana Daniel Vaulot Station Biologique de Roscoff CNRS and Université Paris 6, France

2 Outline Introduction Described species
Environmental analysis : 18S and 16S rDNA An important group the Prasinophyceae Perspectives To say - Restrict to euphotic zone mostly

3 Photosynthetic picoplankton

4 Key questions What are they ? How abundant is each group ? Where and when specific groups occur ? What is their role ?

5 Outline Introduction Described species To say
- Restrict to euphotic zone mostly

6 Described species About 40 species Chorophyta

32 Photosynthetic picoeucaryotes Summary
Few species described Important groups from cultures and environmental 18S : Prasinophyceae Prymnesiophyceae Cryptophyceae Heterokont classes : Dictyochophyceae, Pelagophyceae etc.. Prasinophyceae / Mamiellales Distribution of three genera begin to emerge

33 Photosynthetic picoeucaryotes Future directions
Investigate more diverse environments Isolate representative of uncultivated groups Complement 18S by other approaches Biased primers Plastid 16S Populations sorted by flow cytometry Distribution of key groups FISH QPCR Investigate ecotypic differentiation Micromonas, Ostreococcus
