Like ancient mariners, ancestors of Prochlorococcus microbes rode out to sea on exoskeleton particles
A new study shows the carbon-capturing phytoplankton colonized the ocean by rafting on particles of chitin. Continue reading Like ancient mariners, ancestors of Prochlorococcus microbes rode out to sea on exoskeleton particles
