| Definition | Synechococcus are unicellular photosynthetic cyanobacteria with flow cytometry forward scatter and sideward scatter signatures larger than those of most of marine heterotrophic bacteria. No staining is required to distinguish them by flow cytometry. The Synechococcus cluster has higher forward scatter and red fluorescence signatures than Prochlorococcus and a distinct orange fluorescence signature from their phycoerythrin accessory pigment when excited by lasers whose wavelength is below 533 nanometres. Cyanobacteria may contain phycocyanin, excited by a red laser and emitting above the chlorophyll-a emission wavelength. The Synechococcus cluster is well resolved in red vs green and in red vs orange fluorescence cytograms. Due to their small size (0.8 to 1.2 microns as reported in the literature), Synechococcus cells exhibit low intensity of forward and sideward scatters and red fluorescence signals. | |
