Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1561-1577, June 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.This study aims to give deeper insight into the relationship between the dynamics of the rhizospheric microbiota and the developmental stages of L. dentata growing spontaneously in a semi‐arid environment. To achieve this objective, we examined and monitored the biomass (using phospholipid fatty acid, PLFA analysis), diversity and network complexity of

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Background Production of relatively low value, bulk commodity chemicals and fuels by microbial species requires a step-change in approach to decrease the capital and operational costs associated with scaled fermentation. The utilisation of the robust and

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.We characterized and compared the bacterial community within intertidal and supratidal cyanobacterial mats from barrier islands in North Carolina across small horizontal and vertical spatial scales. We found that vertical layers within these stratified mats varied in their community composition and diversity together with nutrients and isotopic ...

Comparison of prokaryotes between Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench
Microbiome, 2022 Background Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench represent the highest and deepest places on Earth, respectively. They are geographically separated, with distinct extreme environmental parameters that provide unique habitats for prokaryotes. Comparison of

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Heterotrophic diazotrophs are potentially important to the nitrogen cycle in freshwater ecosystems, yet their abundance, N2 fixation rates, diversity, and association with aggregates remain poorly understood. This study elucidates the contribution of freshwater heterotrophic diazotrophs as free‐living or aggregate‐associated cells to total N2 ...

The Cariaco Basin is the world\u27s largest truly marine anoxic basin. We have conducted a comprehensive multidisciplinary investigation of the water column (42–750 m) bracketing the redox boundary (a 250-m thick “chemocline”) of the Cariaco Basin to ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.Nitrifiers in the Baltic Sea show persistent abundance in aphotic waters and late‐fall to winter photic zone increases positively correlated with nutrients and negatively with light and chlorophyll. Through selective enrichment, five novel ammonia‐oxidising archaea genomes were recovered, including the dominant aphotic taxon, which revealed overall ...
