Enzymatic metabolism emerged from metal-catalyzed, aqueous reactions of H2, CO2, NH3 and phosphite at a hydrothermal vent.

Abstract. Plastids, the photosynthetic organelles of eukaryotes, arose via endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria by a eukaryotic host and were subsequently spread

Parasitic microorganisms play critical roles in shaping aquatic ecosystems, yet many lineages, such as those within the phylum Rozellomycota, remain poorly understood. Here, we describe a new rozel...

This study describes a novel parasitic fungus that infects the benthic and epiphytic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata during a coastal microalgal bloom in the Mediterranean Sea. Microscopic obse...

Are you just as excited as we are about the fascinating world of microorganisms? Do you want to contribute to exploring and genomically characterize novel prokaryotic lineages? Do you have a PhD degre...

Here, the authors leverage data from the Tara Oceans expeditions to perform a phylogeny-guided plastid genome-resolved metagenomic survey and provide 660 non-redundant plastid genomes from marine alga...

We create vector graphics of model organisms and emerging biological research organisms to enhance our publications. We’re sharing these editable graphics under a CC0 license for other scientists to...

Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive in marine environments and pose potential risks to marine ecosystems. MPs can transport from the surface to the deep…

Abstract. The evolutionary history of eukaryotic supergroups has been investigated primarily by large-scale phylogenomics, but one major hindrance to conti

The authors obtained large-volume individuals of diatom cultures under thermal stress. These polyploids (having more than two sets of chromosomes) are shown to rapidly adapt to high temperatures, high...

Chlorophyll a is declining in low- to mid-latitude oceans, indicating reduced ocean productivity and fewer phytoplankton blooms.
