Winter presence of prochlorophytes in surface waters of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea
Abstract
Cells with characteristics similar to the recently discovered oceanic prochlorophytes have been detected with ship‐board flow cytometry during winter in the surface waters of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea as well as in the low‐salinity dilution zone of the Rhône River. Maximum abundances reached 50,000 cells ml−1 at the surface and were only slightly lower than those observed previously at the bottom of the euphotic zone in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The concentration, light scatter, and pigment fluorescence of these cells correlated tightly with those of Synechococcus spp. cyanobacteria. These results point out that the ecological niches of oceanic prochlorophytes are probably more diverse than initially thought.

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.
