Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus cell death induced by UV radiation and the penetration of lethal UVR in the Mediterranean Sea
Open accessAbstract
Irradiation experiments performed on natural communities of picocyanobacteria from the southwest Mediterranean Sea indicated that natural levels of solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR: 280 to 400 nm) induced important cell death in Prochlorococcus sp., although Synechococcus sp.appeared to be highly resistant.In the treatments where UVB radiation (UVBR, 280 to 315 nm) was excluded, Prochlorococcus also experienced high cell death with short half-life times of 3.01 ± 0.1 SE (h), showing the contribution of UVA radiation (UVAR, 315 to 400 nm) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400 to 700 nm) to Prochlorococcus cell death.Underwater radiometric measurements conducted during the cruise indicated that penetration of UVR was significant in the Mediterranean waters studied, with minimum diffuse attenuation coefficients of 0.165 and 0.071 m -1 for 313 and 380 nm, respectively.The lethal UV doses required to decrease the picocyanobacteria populations by half, UVLRD 50 , calculated experimentally, were related to underwater UVR penetration in the Mediterranean Sea measured during the cruise.By calculating (from incident irradiances and UVR penetration) the daily UV doses at different depths in the water column, we found that, for sunny days, experimental Prochlorococcus LRD 50 (187 kJ m -2 ) could reach from 10 to 26 m depth.For Synechococcus, however, the depth receiving daily UVLRD 50 (1375 kJ m -2 ) was always shallower, above 5 m depth.The differential sensitivity of the 2 genera and the UV transparency of the Mediterranean Sea suggest that solar radiation could be an important factor influencing the dynamics and distribution of cyanobacterial populations in the surface waters of this oligotrophic sea.

UVR is a highly effective carcinogenic exogenous agent that interacts with DNA, alters genome integrity, and may affect normal life processes from prokaryotes to mammals.
“which is one of the most effective and carcinogenic exogenous agents that can interact with DNA and alter the genome integrity and may affect the normal life processes of all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to mammals [2–10].”
From Molecular Mechanisms of Ultraviolet Radiation‐Induced DNA Damage and Repair (2010) · cites this paper as [10]
The Introduction (page not supplied) says UVR damages DNA and can inhibit phytoplankton production; the Discussion reports UVR-induced mortality in Mediterranean picocyanobacteria. The paper does not establish that UVR is carcinogenic or extend these effects to all organisms from prokaryotes to mammals. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
