New publication in Journal of Phycology!

Sept. 22, 2025

A new publication in the Journal of Phycology led by former graduate student Meredith Meyer explores the potential contributions of the small chlorophyte Micromonas from the Northeast Pacific Ocean to new production and their molecular response to iron limitation.  Meredith and coauthors found that although small, this frequently abundant picophytoplankton can contribute appreciably to carbon export, even when iron-limited.
