Inter-strain diversity among coastal picocyanobacteria across salinity gradients

Strains of the picocyanobacteria genera Synechococcus and Cyanobium occur in cold-temperate zones, from coastal waters to the open ocean, spanning a range of salinities and water depths. To thrive across different salinities, picocyanobacteria strains acclimate internal turgor by...
