Our overall goal is to determine how microbes impact ecology and biogeochemistry, with a particular emphasis on under-explored environments with novel microbial diversity. Microbial engines drive biog...

In this study, Luo and colleagues identify previously unknown viruses that actively infect highly productive chemoautotrophs. These findings provide new insights into key trophic interactions and&nbsp...

Abstract. Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, or “giant viruses,” are prevalent in marine environments, infecting diverse eukaryotic lineages and influenc

Background Non-cyanobacteria diazotrophs (NCDs) are shown to dominate in surface waters shifting the long-held paradigm of cyanobacteria dominance. This raises fundamental questions on how these putat...

Aquatic environments absorb ~2.5 gigatonnes of atmospheric carbon each year, more than the carbon stored in the atmosphere, soils, and all biomass combined. Primary producers transform this dissolved ...

Harvard’s lawsuit comes after the administration sought to force the university to comply with a list of demands by cutting billions in federal funding the school receives.
