In taxonomy, Micromonas is a genus of green algae, specifically of the Mamiellaceae.[1][2] The genus contains a single species, Micromonas pusilla, which is the dominant photosynthetic picoeukaryote in some marine ecosystems.[3] Unlike many marine algae, it is distributed widely in both warm and cold waters.[4] It is a good swimmer and swims towards light.[4]
M. pusilla is infected by a reovirus called Micromonas pusilla reovirus (MpRV).[5]
