Microscopic planktonPopular Science

Microscopic plankton are at the heart of the ocean’s food chain, feeding much bigger animals like whales.
One species of bioluminescent phytoplankton called Pyrocystis noctiluca does this by ballooning six times its size.
This inflation then takes the usually only a few hundred micron-wide plankton about 656 feet up towards the ocean's surface, so that it can capture sunlight to make food.
Stanford University team developed a mathematical framework that could be applied to all plankton in the ocean.
The team hopes to uncover more of the hidden mysteries of a large number of lpankton who may use biochemistry to regulate density and move up and down the water column.
