Novel diversity within marine Mamiellophyceae (Chlorophyta) unveiled by metabarcoding

Abstract Mamiellophyceae (unicellular green algae) are a key phytoplankton group in coastal waters. Although extensively studied over the last 20 years, the overall oceanic distribution of the major species/clades is still poorly known. To address this problem, we analyzed the 2014 Ocean Sampling Da...
