1. Light dependency of Prochlorococcus mortality forces.
Light dependency of Prochlorococcus mortality forces. Modeled Prochlorococcus mortality rate (purple line), production rate (blue line), and cell abundance (green line). (A and C) Stable solution for a virus/host model (23) where the per-capita rates of virus infection (A) remain constant over the day/night cycle or (C) vary according to Prochlorococcus cell division rates. (B and D) Stable solution for a predator–prey model (24) where the per-capita rates of predation (B) remain constant over the day/night cycle or (D) vary according to light intensity. The gray regions indicate night.
