Arctic microalgae can grow in light levels 100 times lower than previously thought.
Hoppe and colleagues discovered that Arctic microalgae can photosynthesize and grow in incredibly dim light, challenging our understanding of ocean productivity. Their findings suggest that marine life in polar regions and deep waters may be more active than we realized.
