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 ...

On the roles of cell size and trophic strategy in North Atlantic diatom and dinoflagellate communities [PDF]
We have examined the inter- and intra-group seasonal succession of 113 diatom and dinoflagellate taxa, as surveyed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) in the North Atlantic, by grouping taxa according to two key functional traits: cell size (mg C

Unifying microorganisms and macrograzers in intertidal rocky shore ecological networks
Abstract Over the past decades, our understanding of the vital role microbes play in ecosystem processes has greatly expanded. However, we still have limited knowledge about how microbial communities interact with larger organisms. Many existing representations of microbial interactions are based on co‐occurrence patterns, which do not provide clear ...

Redox dependent metabolic shift in Clostridium autoethanogenum by extracellular electron supply [PDF]
Background: Microbial electrosynthesis is a novel approach that aims at shifting the cellular metabolism towards electron-dense target products by extracellular electron supply.

Abstract BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of different culture modes – autotrophy, mixotrophy and heterotrophy – on polyglucan accumulation and molecular weight distribution in four Galdieria sulphuraria strains. Understanding the impact of these culture modes helps optimize the production of reserve carbohydrates and modify their ...

Quagmires around southern and southeastern Estonian lakes [PDF]
We studied quagmires around 17 soft-water lakes in southern and southeastern Estonia. Vegetation analysis was carried out at the level of moss and field layer synusiae and plant communities.

Hidden in plain sight: The importance of cryptic interactions in marine plankton [PDF]
Here, we present a range of interactions, which we term “cryptic interactions.” These are interactions that occur throughout the marine planktonic foodweb but are currently largely overlooked by established methods, which mean large‐scale data collection

Hierarchical modeling of Baltic Sea phytoplankton reveals increasing cyanobacteria dominance
Abstract Understanding how phytoplankton communities respond to environmental changes is critical for mitigating the impact of changing oceans. To identify the main drivers of changes in phytoplankton community composition and species richness, hierarchical modeling of species communities (HMSC) was used to model the summer phytoplankton communities ...

Global genetic capacity for mixotrophy in marine picocyanobacteria [PDF]
Abstract The assimilation of organic nutrients by autotrophs, a form of mixotrophy, has been demonstrated in the globally abundant marine picocyanobacterial genera Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. However, the range of compounds used and the distribution of organic compound uptake genes within picocyanobacteria are unknown.
