In this study, the authors show that marine eukaryotic phytoplankton widely take up the sulfur compound DMSP via the BCCT family transporter PaDT, suggesting an energy-saving strategy in some taxa and a dual role for phytoplankton as both a source and a sink in organosulfur cycling.

Collodaria harboring photosymbiotic microalgae are major primary producers in oligotrophic oceans. Stable-isotope labelling revealed distinct roles of phototrophy and osmotrophy, refining our understa...

Background Coastal ecosystems face increasing threats from eutrophication, driven by excess nutrient inputs that lead to ecosystem-disruptive algal blooms (EDABs). The Mar Menor coastal lagoon, locate...

This post discusses one function in ggplot2: `theme()`. Find out about the glamour of graphics in this deep-dive article.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) - an authoritative source of high-impact, original research that broadly spans...

Unicellular predators, especially marine heterotrophic flagellates (HFs), are fundamental to marine food webs, facilitating the flow of nutrients from bacteria and the smallest primary producers to up...

Researchers say the social-media platform — an alternative to X — offers more control over the content they see and the people they engage with.

The microbial world is diverse and critically important to understanding evolution and global ecology, but we lack teaching and communications resources. This Essay provides a series of technical diag...

Background Marine sponges are dominant components of Antarctic benthos and representative of the high endemism that characterizes this environment. All microbial groups are part of the Antarctic spong...

Margulisbacteria are elusive uncultivated bacteria that have illuminated evolutionary transitions in the progenitor of Cyanobacteria, the latter being…

Photosynthetic carbon assimilation enables energy storage in the living world and produces most of the biomass in the biosphere. Rubisco (d-ribulos...

For more than 3.5 billion years, life experienced dramatic environmental extremes on Earth. These include shifts from oxygen-less to overoxygenated atmospheres and cycling between hothouse conditions...

Abstract. The Arctic Ocean experiences significant seasonal to interannual environmental changes, including in temperature, light, sea ice, and surface nutrient concentrations, that influence the dyna...

Low-latitude planktonic foraminifera are coping with rapid ocean warming, acidification and nutrient shifts by migrating to deeper water-column depths or polewards, displacing higher-latitude species ...

Rising sea surface temperatures threaten coral-algal symbiosis, impacting reef ecosystems. This study shows that coral larvae alter nutrient metabolism by increasing nitrogen assimilation to maintain…
