Bioplastic biodegradability shapes microbial communities in a coastal brackish environment Abstract. Microorganisms are metabolically versatile and central to marine ecosystems, yet the potential of marine microbial communities to degrade differe

Happy to share our latest publication about bioplastic degradation in the Baltic Sea: academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...!
Stay tuned, Part II will follow, in which we have expanded the investigations around Europe.

We had a great team from @syke.fi: Anna Kangas & @danahellemann.bsky.social and @Helsinki.fi @coastclim.bsky.social, our collaborator Nicolas-Xavier Geilfus.
Special thanks also to our fantastic host Daiki Nomura and his students from University of Honkaido!

Amazing two weeks in Japan, Saromako lagoon investigating the effects of sea ice to microbial processes related to CH4 and N2O cycling for my RCF fellow project WICE - Wintertime GHG dynamics in the coastal polar seas – microbial pathways and processes in sea-ice methane and nitrous oxide cycling.

at 3rd International Conference for Sustainable Resource Society - ICS23.

Thank you Carlos Palacin-Lizabre and University of Eastern Finland for the invite and opportunity to present the results of my Research Council of Finland post doc and the plans for my RCF fellowship project about microbial pathways and processes in sea ice methane and nitrous oxide cycling.
