Query: NC_007335:331072 Prochlorococcus marinus str. NATL2A, complete genome Lineage: Prochlorococcus marinus; Prochlorococcus; Prochlorococcaceae; Prochlorales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This strain was collected at a depth of 30 meters in the north Atlantic Ocean. Marine cyanobacterium. This non-motile bacterium is a free-living marine organism that is one of the most abundant, as well as the smallest, on earth, and contributes heavily to carbon cycling in the marine environment. This cyanobacterium grows in areas of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation and is unique in that it utilizes divinyl chlorophyll a/b proteins as light-harvesting systems instead of phycobiliproteins. These pigments allow harvesting of light energy from blue wavelengths at low light intensity.

General Information: This strain was collected from the north Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 30 m and was isolated by filter fractionation. This strain belongs to the 'low light-adapted' ecotype, clade I, and has a high Chl b/a2 ratio. Marine cyanobacterium.
