Ostreococcus lucimarinus is a species of marine algae. Species of Ostreococcus include the smallest known eukaryotes, which has made them the subject of a great deal of recent taxonomic and genomic study. The extremely small size of Ostreococcus places energetic and steric stresses on their organelles and intracellular processes, creating pressures to simplify and reduce basic cellular functions. Adaptations of Ostreococcus to various ecological niches also provide input on the roles of cell structures in niche differentiation. O. lucimarinus is particularly adaptation to light-intense habitat near the ocean surface. It works for any image uploaded anywhere to MicrobeWiki.
