Abstract

Understanding the functional diversity of specific microbial groups at the global scale is critical yet poorly developed. By combining the considerable knowledge accumulated through recent years on the molecular bases of photosynthetic pigment diversity in marine Synechococcus, a major phytoplanktonic organism, with the wealth of metagenomic data provided by the Tara Oceans expedition, we have been able to reliably quantify all known pigment types along its transect and provide a global distribution map. Unexpectedly, cells able to dynamically change their pigment content to match the ambient light color were ubiquitous and predominated in many environments. Altogether, our results unveiled the role of adaptation to light quality on niche partitioning in a key primary producer.
