摘要

Small photosynthetic pico- and nanoeukaryotes contribute substantially to the biomass and primary production in the Arctic, often producing large blooms during spring and summer. During the civil polar night, which in the Svalbard Archipelago lasts from the middle of November to the end of February, no light is present, thus providing photosynthetic organisms with the challenge of how to survive several months of darkness. The small green alga Mi-cromonas pusilla and the haptophyte Phaeocystis pouchetii are two key phototrophs in the Arctic, commonly blooming during the arctic spring and summer. Their occurence in Arctic waters during the polar night period is, however, less well known. In the present study, we used a molecular approach to show that M. pusilla and P. pouchetii are widely distributed in Svalbard waters also at the height of the polar night. Both species were detected in pelagic samples from both fjords and the open ocean, ice-covered and ice-free locations, shallow and deep water and from Atlantic, Arctic and coastal water masses. PCR screening was performed on both DNA and RNA samples, the latter allowing the detection of viable cells of both species in the mesopelagos. As far as we are aware this is the first systematic study on the persistence of these important photosynthetic organisms through the polar night.
