Dysregulation of photosynthetic genes in oceanic Prochlorococcus populations exposed to organic pollutants
Abstract The impact of organic pollutants on oceanic ecosystem functioning is largely unknown. Prochlorococcus, the most abundant known photosynthetic organism on Earth, has been suggested to be especially sensible to exposure to organic pollutants, but the sub-lethal effects of organic pollutants o...
