| Definition | Prochlorococcus cells are defined as the smallest cyanobacteria found in the marine environment. No staining is required to distinguish them by flow cytometry. Compared to any other group, their forward scatter and red fluorescence signatures are the smallest recorded up to now and require sensitive Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT) or high powered lasers. The cluster, when well defined (often deep water communities) is below or may overlap that of the Synechococcus group, and is often partially masked by the instrument background noise. In samples stained for heterotrophic prokaryote detection, Prochlorococcus can be distinguished using the sideward scatter vs red fluorescence cytogram. They do not emit orange fluorescence because they lack phycoerythrin. | |
