Our study reveals (based on experiments) the shifts in protistan plankton communities, serving as energy and organic matter source for higher trophic levels if the Humboldt Current System is affected by climate change as predicted by current models. This may have profound effects on fisheries in the Humboldt Current System.

Effects of UV-B radiation on the structural and physiological diversity of bacterioneuston and bacterioplankton [PDF]
The effects of UV radiation (UVR) on estuarine bacterioneuston and bacterioplankton were assessed in microcosm experiments. Bacterial abundance and DNA synthesis were more affected in bacterioplankton.

Revealing the Physiological Patterns of Dinoflagellates in North‐Eastern Adriatic Phytoplankton
Using metatranscriptomics, we have described the annual taxonomic and functional succession of the phytoplankton community in the north‐eastern Adriatic Sea, taking into account the effects of environmental factors on succession. The results obtained in this way represent the first comprehensive physiological characterisation of the phytoplankton ...

Archaeal diversity in deep-sea sediments estimated by means of different Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (T-RFLP) protocols [PDF]
Despite the increasing recognition of the quantitative importance of Archaea in all marine systems, the protocols for a rapid estimate of Archaeal diversity patterns in deep-sea sediments have been only poorly tested yet.

Abstract This study presents the first multi‐year assessment quantifying the contribution of primary production to vertical carbon flux in the ultra‐oligotrophic southeastern Levantine basin of the Mediterranean Sea. Depth‐integrated (0–180 m) daily primary productivity (PP) was 25% higher in the mixed winter period than in the stratified period (123 ...

Influence of coral and algal exudates on microbially mediated reef metabolism. [PDF]
Benthic primary producers in tropical reef ecosystems can alter biogeochemical cycling and microbial processes in the surrounding seawater. In order to quantify these influences, we measured rates of photosynthesis, respiration, and dissolved organic ...

Wave‐driven transport controls bacterioplankton community differentiation among coral reef habitats
Abstract The existence of highly productive coral reefs within oligotrophic gyres is in part due to intensive recycling of macronutrients and organic matter by microbes. Therefore, characterizing reef bacterioplankton communities is key for understanding reef metabolism and biogeochemical transformations. We performed a high‐resolution survey of waters

Bias in culture-independent assessments of microbial biodiversity in the global ocean [PDF]
On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the SAR11 clade of marine bacteria has almost universal distribution, being detected as abundant sequences in all marine provinces. Yet SAR11 sequences are rarely detected in fosmid libraries, suggesting that the

Nearly a decade-long repeatable seasonal diversity patterns of bacterioplankton communities in the eutrophic Lake Donghu (Wuhan, China). [PDF]
Uncovering which environmental factors govern community diversity patterns and how ecological processes drive community turnover are key questions related to understand the community assembly.
