Many bacterial species release extracellular vesicles, which have roles in various processes, including quorum sensing, virulence and horizontal gene transfer. Chisholm and colleagues now report the discovery that the dominant marine cyanobacterium, Prochlorococcus spp., produces an abundance of extracellular vesicles, which might have diverse functions in the ocean ecosystem and affect carbon cycling.
