Abstract. Coccolithophores are major marine phytoplankton that contribute to ocean carbon cycling through both organic carbon fixation and calcium carbonat

Abstract. Chloroplast-stealing (a.k.a., “kleptoplastidic”) plankton transiently obtain and integrate prey metabolic machinery into their own cells. To do s

Marine biogeochemistry studies how elements like carbon and phosphorus move through the ocean. In this podcast, we explore the processes that drive this...

Nature talks to five artists about their approaches to communicating science visually.

In a recent article published in Nature Microbiology, we show how marine diatoms, a globally important group of microalgae can switch between photosynthesis and a light-driven rhodopsin proton pump to...

The Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database compiles prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic genomes from seawater collected from the Great Barrier Reef, providing a rich resource for the study of mar...

Estuarine ecosystems are subject to pronounced hydrological fluctuations driven by both natural cycles and anthropogenic interventions. Using the anth…

Scientific Reports - Exploring proteins within the coccolith matrix

Community-developed checklists offer best-practice guidance for biologists preparing light microscopy images and describing image analyses for publications.

Coccolithophores play dual roles as the biological pump and the carbonate counter pump in the marine carbon cycle. However, how nutrient conditions sh…

This student blog post is written by Anna P.K. and is about the theory of endosymbiosis! Have you ever wondered how mitochondria came to…

Understanding carbon cycling requires simplifying bacterial diversity into functional groups defined by genetic signatures.
