PICODIV • Characterize major taxa composing marine picoplankton • Monitor yearly cycle of picoplankton diversity at three coastal sites
Strategy • Isolate and characterize cultures • Establish rRNA clone libraries from natural samples • Design probes for major taxa • Develop probe measurement techniques (PCR fluo, FISH...) • Monitor three coastal sites with probes and other techniques (HPLC, TEM...)
rRNA clone libraries Bolidophyceae
