Phaeocystis Pouchetii Virus
''Phaeocystis'' is a genus of algae belonging to the Prymnesiophyceae, Prymnesiophyte class and to the larger division of Haptophyte, Haptophyta. It is a widespread marine phytoplankton and can function at a wide range of temperatures (eurythermal) and salinities (euryhaline). Members of this genus live in the open ocean, as well as in sea ice. It has a polymorphic life cycle, ranging from free-living cells to large colonies. The ability to form a floating colony is one of the unique attributes of ''Phaeocystis'' – hundreds of cells are embedded in a polysaccharide gel matrix, which can increase massively in size during Algal bloom, blooms. The largest ''Phaeocystis'' blooms form in the polar seas: ''P. pouchetii'' in the north and ''P. antarctica'' in the south. This intense ''Phaeocystis'' productivity generally persists for about a three-month period, spanning most of the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. ''Phaeocystis''-abundant ecosystems are generally associated with ...
