Rhythms of lysis: Viral regulation of prokaryotic turnover across diel cycles
Abstract Diel rhythms structure microbial activity in the ocean, yet the role of viral lysis in driving short‐term community dynamics remains poorly understood. Here, we combined dilution experiments, high‐resolution microbiome sampling and extracellular ribosome sequencing to investigate diel virus–host interactions in the South China Sea. Viral lysis

Environmental Sequencing Provides Reasonable Estimates of the Relative Abundance of Specific Picoeukaryotes [PDF]
ABSTRACT High-throughput sequencing (HTS) is revolutionizing environmental surveys of microbial diversity in the three domains of life by providing detailed information on which taxa are present in microbial assemblages. However, it is still unclear how the relative abundance of specific taxa gathered by HTS correlates with cell ...

Projected Changes in Photosynthetic Picoplankton in a Warmer Subtropical Ocean
The oligotrophic subtropical gyres are the largest biome on Earth, where picoplankton constitute the dominant autotrophs. The trend for autotrophic picoplankton to increase with sea temperature has led to predictions that picophytoplankton abundance will

ABSTRACT Marine microbial communities are structured by a complex interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes, yet how these vary across latitudes remains poorly understood. Most long‐term microbial observatories are restricted to temperate regions, limiting our ability to assess latitudinal contrasts in microbial dynamics.

Growth on ATP Elicits a P-Stress Response in the Picoeukaryote Micromonas pusilla.
The surface waters of oligotrophic oceans have chronically low phosphate (Pi) concentrations, which renders dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) an important nutrient source.

Abstract Eutrophication in the Baltic Sea has caused an imbalance in the inorganic nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (P) ratio, leaving excess phosphate (PO4) after the phytoplankton spring bloom that terminates after N depletion. Using monitoring data, we demonstrated that the PO4 concentration has continued to increase in the outermost Gulf of Finland ...

Rhythmicity of coastal marine picoeukaryotes, bacteria and archaea despite irregular environmental perturbations [PDF]
Abstract Seasonality in marine microorganisms has been classically observed in phytoplankton blooms, and more recently studied at the community level in prokaryotes, but rarely investigated at the scale of individual microbial taxa. Here we test if specific marine eukaryotic phytoplankton, bacterial and archaeal taxa display yearly ...

Experimental assessment of the sensitivity of an estuarine phytoplankton fall bloom to acidification and warming [PDF]
We investigated the combined effect of ocean acidification and warming on the dynamics of the phytoplankton fall bloom in the Lower St. Lawrence Estuary (LSLE), Canada. Twelve 2600 L mesocosms were set to initially cover a wide range of pHT (pH

Blooms of filamentous cyanobacteria reduce zooplankton quality and pelagic food web efficiency
Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms in marine and freshwater ecosystems have increased in magnitude, frequency, and distribution worldwide during recent decades. Filamentous cyanobacteria are of unsuitable size for mesozooplankton feeding and of poorer nutritional quality than other phytoplankton taxa. The production and quality of higher trophic levels are

Abstract Increasing CO2 emissions have led to the development of CO2 removal strategies to counteract ocean acidification. Among these, ocean alkalinity enhancement techniques, particularly ocean liming, may represent a promising approach to restore seawater pH and boost CO2 sequestration.
