During viral infection and growth limitation of the picoeukaryoteOstreococcus tauri, we examined the relationship between membrane permeability, oxidative stress and chlorophyll allomers (oxidation products). Chlorophyll allomers were measured in batch‐cultures ofO. tauriin parallel with maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II photochemistry (Fv/Fm), carotenoids, and reactive oxygen species and membrane permeability using fluorescent probes (CM‐H2DCFDA and SYTOX‐Green). Viral infection led to mass cell lysis of theO. tauricells within 48 h. The concentration of the allomer hydroxychlorophyllapeaked with a 16‐fold increase (relative to chlorophyll‐a) just after the major lysis event. In contrast, cell death due to growth limitation resulted in a twofold increase in allomer production, relative to chl‐a. Two allomers were detected solely in association withO. tauridebris after viral lysis, and unlike other allomers were not observed before viral lysis, or during cell death due to growth limitation. Conversely, the component chl‐aP276was found in the highest concentrations relative to chl‐a, in exponentially growingO. tauri. The components described have potential as indicators of mode of phytoplankton mortality, and of population growth.
