Unicellular cyanobacteria are ubiquitous photoautotrophic microbes that contribute substantially to global primary production. Picocyanobacteria such as Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus depend on chlorophyll a-binding ...

While progress has been made in surveying the oceans to understand microbial and viral communities, the coastal ocean and, specifically, estuarine waters, where the effects of anthropogenic activity are greatest, remain ...

The global carbon cycle is responsible for maintaining the carbon dioxide and methane concentration in the atmosphere, influencing the weather and ocean acidification. Herbivores play an important role in the carbon cycle. ...

Methylmercury is a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates from seawater to high concentrations in marine fish, putting human and ecosystem health at risk. High methylmercury levels have been found in the oxic subsurface waters of ...

The marine microbiome, including prokaryotes and minute unicellular eukaryotes, stands for a great part of biodiversity and is essential for ocean food webs and global biogeochemical cycles. Yet, investigating their diversity ...
