Synthethic Phytoplankton

Some people created synthetic bacterial life forms to use them as fuel producers back then; it's called synthia I believe... and I don't know how it ended up.

So creating life is already possible. Then say if someone wants to make an upgraded version of phytoplankton with the following changes:

• Reproduces faster than normal plant plankton

• Never truly dies, but cycles life stages like some jellyfish

• Grows faster to produce more oxygen

• Is as resistant as extremophile organisms.

What productive and destructive effects would this über-phytoplankton have on the environment if released inside the oceans?
