Abstract

Picochlorum sp. SENEW3 is a picoeukaryotic green alga that displays broad halotolerance and robust growth in the face of fluctuating environmental conditions [1]. This pico-sized alga possesses a small genome, similar to that of the pico-prasinophyte Ostreococcus tauri [2] (Figure 1), and provides an intriguing case of genome minimisation and streamlining in photosynthetic eukaryotes, which tend to have large and redundant genomes. It exhibits a surprising flexibility in growth conditions, that is less pronounced in O.
