Water mass specific genes dominate the Southern Ocean microbiome - Nature Communications Southern Ocean microbial communities are less well studied. Here, the authors generate a circumpolar-scale gene catalog from 218 metagenomics samples revealing broadscale uniqueness and water-mass–spe...

A new study showcasing how the Southern ocean is filled with novel genetic content that is partially shared with the Arctic but largely endemic.

Thd study also provides the Antarctic circumnavigation metagenomic dataset!

Positive Interactions Dominate Among Marine Microbes, Six-Year Study Reveals A six-year analysis of marine microbes in coastal California waters has overturned long-held assumptions about how the ocean's smallest organisms interact. Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Instit...

🦠 A study led by Scripps Oceanography scientists reveals that #MarineMicrobes exhibited mostly positive interactions with one another over a six-year period. These positive interactions became even more common during times of environmental stress. Dive into the study. ⬇️

Invisible Pockets That Clean the Ocean Invisible zones created by microbes on sand grains may be removing a third of excess nitrogen in oxygen-rich coastal seas. Here's how they do it.

They’re invisible, live on sand grains, and fight ocean pollution. Meet the microbes quietly reshaping Earth’s nitrogen balance. #MarineMicrobes #OceanPollution #NitrogenCycle

We gladly introduce PriME, an international and interdisciplinary collaboration which aims to derive fundamental principles of how microbial ecosystems assemble and function, with a primary focus on #marinemicrobes and #carboncycling 🦠🌊

Yay, team members Courtney Swink, Ellen Harrison and Beth Tindall-Jones representing #marinemicrobes #diatoms this week at the annual @microbiologysociety.org meeting in Liverpool ! 🌊🔬👏👏👏 @thembauk.bsky.social @exetermarine.bsky.social #MicroBio25

Planktonic drivers of carbon transformation during different stages of the spring bloom at the Patagonian Shelf-break front, Southwestern Atlantic Ocean - Biogeochemistry The processes involved in the carbon cycle are essential for marine trophic networks and global climate regulation. Interactions within the microbial loop play key roles in carbon transformation and t...

In the opposite direction to Tara, our Argentinian collaborators on the Houssay vessel sampled blooms going from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires & the paper just came out too 👏

Mapping of the viral shunt across widespread coccolithophore blooms using metabolic biomarkers The viral shunt is a fundamental ecosystem process which diverts the flux of organic carbon from grazers to heterotrophic microorganisms. Through the extracellular release of metabolites, lytic viral ...

Happy to share one of the 1st papers of the Gayoso Expedition along the Patagonian Shelf Break to chase algal blooms, wt the Tara schooner. C. Kuhlisch maps the metabolic footprint of viral infection from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, & more

Urbanization of a Subtropical Island (Okinawa, Japan) Alters Physicochemical Characteristics and Disrupts Microbial Community Dynamics in Nearshore Ecosystems - Estuaries and Coasts Subtropical and tropical islands are undergoing rapid urbanization as the human population expands globally. Urbanization disrupts coastal ecosystems through several pathways—including the replacement...
