Bacterial extracellular vesicles exhibit distinct functional potential across biogeographic provinces of the South Pacific Ocean
Abstract. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are nanoscale membranous structures released by diverse types of bacteria, and are capable of transportin

📌 New publication in Nature Geoscience by Amano et al., reveals that heterotrophic bacteria substantially contribute to oceanic dissolved inorganic carbon fixation via anaplerotic pathways, accounting for an estimated ~17% of dark DIC fixation and a significant global carbon flux.

📌 New publication in Limnology and Oceanography shows that fluorescent proteins in Madracis corals have species-specific, structurally distinct distributions that correlate with symbiont localization and light exposure, suggesting they contribute to ecological adaptation and species differentiation.
