Increasing P limitation and viral infection impact lipid remodeling of the picophytoplankter <i>Micromonas pusilla</i>

The intact polar lipid (IPL) composition of phytoplankton is plastic and dependent on environmental factors. Previous studies have shown that phytoplankton under low phosphorus (P) availability substitutes phosphatidylglycerols (PGs) with sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerols (SQDGs) and digalactosyldiacyl...
