Will you be attending #ASLO2027? If you characterize the composition, sources, or fates of organic matter across the aquatic continuum, consider submitting an abstract to session SS57! Abstracts are due by 9/15. You can find out more about our session here: lnkd.in/gS2VeGNx @aslo.org

Phosphate availability stabilizes fucoidan produced by marine microalgae
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 22 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-025-02252-9Bacterial degradation of extracellular fucoidan is resource-intensive and, therefore, limited by low-phosphate concentrations. This mechanism provides a competitive advantage to fucoidan-producing microalgae and enhances carbon sequestration.

Check out our new paper looking at how phosphate limitation impacts DOP utilization and methane production by marine bacteria! Published today in L&O Letters! #C-PLyase aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Phosphate limitation threshold for phosphonate utilization and methane production by carbon–phosphorus lyase in Stutzerimonas frequens
The surface ocean is an important source of methane to the atmosphere, contributing 4% of natural global production. The degradation of methylphosphonate (MPn) is a key methane production pathway in ...

Got some great news today! We received funding from the UC ShipFunds program to conduct a research expedition next spring in the California Current Ecosystem examining the microbial and metabolic succession on particles as they sink out of the euphotic zone! #POP:ART

I came up on a surprisingly relevant line in Cervantes's Don Quixote today. "For the possessor of wealth is not made happy by possessing it, but by spending it. And not by spending it at he pleases but knowing how to spend it well." Seems some morals still need to be taught, even after 400 years

I'm stoked to share our work examining the molecular weight distribution of marine HMWDOM! #DissolvedOrganicMatter #NMR pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

What Is the Molecular Weight of “High” Molecular Weight Dissolved Organic Matter?
The use of ultrafiltration to isolate high molecular weight dissolved organic matter (HMWDOM) from seawater is a fundamental tool in the environmental organic chemist’s toolbox. Yet, important charact...
