title: Phaeocystis globosa
organism: Phaeocystis globosa
description: Phaeocystis globosa is by far the most well represented member of its genus in phytoplankton culture collections, and the physiology, ecology, life history, and life cycle of certain strains have been thoroughly investigated. This species also offers an opportunity to study differences in gene expression between colonies and solitary cells (both of which are typically found in P. globosa cultures). In addition, P. globosa host-virus systems are an excellent candidate for molecular investigations, particularly since JGI is currently sequencing a range of P. globosa viral genomes.
