| Definition | The eukaryote picophytoplankton group is defined by cells with a size range between 2 and 3 microns. No staining is required to distinguish them by flow cytometry. The smallest known eukaryotic picophytoplankton is Ostreococcus. Eukaryotic picophytoplankton exhibit a well-defined flow cytometry signature, with forward scatter and red fluorescence signals larger than that of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, and smaller than that of nanophytoplankton cells, though some overlap may happen. The forward scatter signal of 2 micron beads is widely used as an optical standard to localize this group. It is important to keep in mind that cell cycle within this group may generate cells with size greater than 2 microns (2-4 um in theory). They do not have an orange fluorescence signal. | |
