In mid-September 2026, a Pride flag was torn down and burned on the campus of the Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences. The institutions of the State Rectors’ Conference and the UBRA stand in fu...

Abstract. Marine prokaryotes play crucial roles in ocean biogeochemical cycles, being their contribution strongly influenced by their growth rates. Hence,

The growth of a microbial population is often calculated from their numerical abundance over time. However, this does not take cell division and mortality rates into account, which are important for d...

Meeresbiologin Chandni Sidhu untersucht die Folgen für das Ökosystem, wenn Turbinen das Wasser durchmischen.

In the context of global change, marine organisms are subjected not only to gradual changes in abiotic parameters, but also to an increasing number of extreme events, such as heatwaves. However, we s....

The microbial community is mostly resilient to a short-term marine heatwave.

Virus discovery has accelerated but linking viruses to hosts remains challenging. This study uses synthetic microbiomes to optimize and benchmark Hi-C for virus-host linkage inference, and applies thi...

This team is a prime example of how a simple research solution can ignite a powerful business idea with real-world impact.

Mineralwasser ist das meistverkaufte Getränk in Deutschland. Bisher können Hersteller das Grundwasser dafür fast kostenlos aus dem Boden holen. Dagegen regt sich Widerstand

Mit einer innovativen Filtrationsmaschine revolutioniert das Bremer Start-up Separa die Überwachung des Meeres und anderer Gewässer. Die Gründer erleichtern die Arbeit von Meeresforschern und Umweltsc...

Abstract. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a powerful tool for visualising the spatial organisation of microbial communities. However, traditio
