Short summary
Along a transect in the warm nutrient-depleted Mediterranean Sea, we found that microorganisms shared phosphate resources by using different uptake strategies. Heterotrophic prokaryotes dominated phosphate uptake in the upper layers while cyanobacteria dominated uptake fluxes around the deep chlorophyll maximum depth. Synechococcus seemed well equipped to respond to pulses of phosphate, whereas Prochlorococcus and heterotrophs were more adapted to very low concentrations.
