ResumenThe cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus is the smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism on Earth [1]. Being a main global primary producer and ubiquist in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world’s oceans [2], it constitutes a good sentinel species for evaluating the effect of environmental stressors on oceanic photosynthesis. We developed a sensitive method to monitor the expression of two genes responsible of photosynthesis in Prochlorococcus, rbcL (RuBisCO) and psbA (D1 protein), using rnpB as reference gene [3,4]. We applied the method to samples from 63 stations of the Malaspina circumnavigation cruise (December 2010 - July 2011), sampled at three depths. In addition, natural communities of nano-and picoplankton were experimentally exposed to organic pollutant mixtures. Expression of Prochlorococcus rbcL and psbA genes correlated with several physical variables and other biological measurements, and were sensitive to low levels of organic pollutant mixtures. We consider these sublethal effects on the photosynthesis, together with already known effects at cellular level [5,6], are significant potential perturbators of the oceanic carbon cycle. This confirms the anthropogenic chemosphere as a vector of global change during the Anthropocene. 1. Bryant DA 2003 Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100:9647-9649 2.
